This hybrid panel brings together editors of scholarly journals to discuss how their journals made the decision to move from a subscription model to Open Access, what the financial implications were, and what the impact has been on their readership. The panel will consist of 10-minute case studies from Penn-based journals that have flipped to OA. A representative from the University of Pennsylvania Press will discuss the Press’ Open Access strategy—current content from eleven out of the Press’ twenty-eight journals is now openly available. The session will conclude with a Q&A where panelists will offer advice on how to plan for an OA transition.

The in-person event will take place in the Research Data & Digital Scholarship Exchange on the first floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center.
