The University of California reached an impasse in its battle with Reed Elsevier, and terminated its subscriptions to Elsevier science journals.
But that system is gradually giving way to the open access model, in which researchers pay publication fees to the journals, but retain their copyrights so their work can be read by anyone, without a subscription. Open access advocates say that’s not only a more logical system for research funded by the public, but a much better way of disseminating scientific discovery.
From the inception, says Ivy Anderson, associate executive director of UC’s California Digital Library and co-chair of its negotiation team, “our goal has been to convert our subscription fees to open access fees — to lower our costs and to change what we’re paying for from subscriptions to open access.”Anderson and MacKie-Mason say Elsevier was unwilling to change to 100% open access, though it would support a small transitional program “in a very modest direction,” Anderson told me.
She added that the university’s asking Elsevier to provide open-access publishing for its own authors and the same access to journals it receives today by subscription, while spending less than it pays for subscriptions alone “is extremely unrealistic.” As for UC, “we are at an impasse in negotiations,” MacKie-Mason says. “Unless Elsevier demonstrates a sincere willingness and commitment to meet the conditions UC insists on, there’s not much point in talking. The ball is in their court at this point to be willing to talk about something that satisfies the university.
