This model was developed in part through a 2019 ground-breaking collaborative mee- ting between publishers, libraries, funders, and OA experts that was held at MIT this spring. As a scholar-led publisher whose mission is to advance scholarship and disseminate knowledge, Berghahn is supportive of open access aims and respectful of open access poli- cies. Subscribe-to-open seeks to take what is working well in the current system and applies it to achieving a sustainable and potentially universal model of open access across publica- tions and publishers of all sizes. Please see the FAQs for more information on BOA-S2O. The Mechanism If you wish to renew just the titles you currently have, renewal notices will follow shortly from your agent and you can process your renewal the usual way. No further action is required. If you wish to upgrade to the entire collection, please contact our Head of Sales Catherine An- derson ([email protected]). We will then work with you to issue an invoice. While we are confident that the academic community will value this form of open access, if library support for BOA-S2O falls short, we reserve the right to revert the journals in the BOA- S2O pilot to conventional subscriptions. We will notify you of any changes. Any changes will not impact your pricing, nor your access to the journals in the collection. Pricing Options If you want to contribute to the success of this model in ways that will convince other publis- hers that it has library support, you can also opt for the entire Berghahn Open Anthro Package for one year at a 5% discount or for three years at a 15% discount.
