OpenEdition Freemium an economic model for open access

OpenEdition Freemium is a partnership offered to institutions (libraries, campuses, research centres), and one that aims to build a sustainable business model for open access. The programme consists of two offers, one dedicated to journals, and the other to book collections. 2018 was marked by two major agreements nationwide in France. As a result of the Digital Republic Act of October 2016, the state established a support plan for scientific publishing, which has enabled support for the Freemium offer for journals and has consolidated turnover for four years. The state has set up a purchasing group and encouraged libraries to join it. In addition, ISTEX, an ambitious national programme for the purchasing of scientific resources, has acquired 1,200 works, benefiting 300 institutions1. These two operations make our offers in France more widely known and confirm that it is possible to progressively develop open and balanced digital publishing from an economic point of view.

1. A quarter of the revenue is attributed to book sales turnover in 2018; the remaining three quarters will be included in the 2019, 2020, 2021 sales turnovers respectively.

OpenEdition Lab : Research and development

As a joint service and research unit, OpenEdition hosts a variety of research and R&D projects within OpenEdition Lab. The objective of OpenEdition Lab is to enable the creation of new knowledge, but also to test and point towards the deployment of innovative services on OpenEdition. The four research areas of OpenEdition Lab are: ->An open laboratory: Open laboratory data for the benefit of the scientific community ->Open science and society: Experiments to strengthen the links between open science and society ->Understanding uses: Quantitative and qualitative research on the ways in which OpenEdition is used ->Text and data mining: Mining texts and data for new services and new knowledge
