Cambridge University Press is moving four more of its journals from a traditional subscription model to Gold open access. From 1 January 2019, the following journals will move to Gold open access:
- Epidemiology & Infection
- Genetics Research
- Primary Health Care Research and Development
- Netherlands Journal of Geosciences
To mark Open Access Week, this year’s most downloaded articles from each of the journals will be made freely available until the end of October. Plans are in place to move a larger number of journals to open access in 2020.
Recent initiatives to drive forward the CUP's Open Research programme include:
- investing in launching and developing new open access journals
- reaching an agreement with ResearchGate to enable authors to responsibly research
- partnering with Code Ocean to increase the reproducibility of research by enabling authors to share the underlying code in their article
- rolling out a new APC waiver policy to ensure global access to Gold OA
- refreshing its double-dipping pricing policy
- becoming a signatory to the Centre for Open Science’s Transparency, Openness, and Promotion Framework (TOP) and endorsing the FAIR principles for the persistence and discoverability of research data
- partnering with Hypothesis and the Qualitative Data Repository to launch the 'Annotation for Transparent Inquiry' initiative
