Nov. 2022: A&A S2O Transparency Report 2022 published
To emphasize its commitment to financial transparency, Astronomy & Astrophysics released its first Transparency Report in November 2022 to make a broad range of financial information publicly available.
2 Mar. 2023: MNRAS moving to APC-based Open Access
The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) announced that the Monthly Notices (MNRAS) will be Open Access (OA) from January 2024, using Article Processing Charges (APCs) of GBP 2,310 per article, to be paid by authors.
From the librarians’ perspective, this is an unfortunate decision. APC-based OA does not achieve the core drivers of the Open Access movement, namely to make publishing more fair, and to stabilize (if not reduce) costs. In order to achieve these goals, collaborative, equitable OA models are needed.
