Here are the key takeaways:
- The OA2020 community has demonstrated that transformative and other transitional agreements are truly viable strategy to achieve open access on a large scale in a matter of a few short years.
- There are challenges, but with each step forward, we gain a new vantage point. Through our alignment as a global community of stakeholders we can address these challenges.
- Our next milestone will be achieved with the proliferation of transformative and transitional agreements, to make the transition irreversible.
- Transformative agreements with traditional subscription publishers need to be complemented by extended support for new and improved fully open access publishing venues and platforms
The 15th Berlin Open Access Conference in the Spring of 2021 will be our next opportunity to come together to explore these and other topics more deeply and share our progress.
