The Finnish Open Access monitoring efforts are integrated with the national data collection conducted by CSC -IT Center for Science for the Ministry of Education and Culture. The publication data collected from the CRIS of each participating organization can be browsed at Juuli (www.juuli.fi), a discovery interface developed by the National Library of Finland. Starting from 2016, two separate fields have been used for indicating the OA status of each publication. One of the fields indicates whether the publication is OA via a Gold or a Hybrid channel, and the second field is used for indicating whether it has been deposited into a repository. The OA definition used in the data collection has also been updated to make it as clear as possible. According to the current dataset for the year 2016, 28.9 % of all peer-reviewed articles produced within the Finnish universities were reported as being OA. There was a lot of overlap between Gold/Hybrid and Green OA, as about 60 % of the articles deposited into repositories were already OA via Gold or Hybrid OA publication channels.Asiasanat: open access; tieteellinen julkaisutoiminta; yliopistot; tieteenalat; tilastot

The Open Access movement in scientific publishing has been gathering momentum in the European Union and its member states, partly due to the policies of some of its main research funders. Already we have seen encouraging research results on the effects of openness on the dissemination of scientific outputs. As business models of Open Access publishing are still under development, the aim of our paper is to assess the statistical tools and data that the Finnish libraries currently have for comparing the costs associated with different modes of disseminating scientific publications. We will also analyse the potential costs associated with Open Access publishing models and compare them with the current cost structure of -mostlypaywalled (PW) access. The discussion will include a description of current Finnish Open Access policies and their funding models. The financial
