“…It introduced two models (Cockerill, 2006) that allowed institutions to prepay future APCs for their members, which were debited at a discounted rate, or to pay a fixed price in return for which their members received a discount.

“…A central fund made it easier to manage and monitor payments for the institution. Other examples of APC central funds were those at the University of Glasgow (Ashworth et al, 2014; Nixon et al, 2013), University College London (Ayris et al, 2014; Sharp, 2014), Royal Holloway University of London (Pontika & Rozenberga, 2015), the Max Planck Society (Sikora & Geschuhn, 2015) and Brunel University London (Walters, 2016).…”

Some open access (OA) publishers charge authors fees to make their articles freely available online. This paper reviews literature on article processing charges (APCs) that has been published since 2000. Despite praise for diamond OA journals, which charge no fees, most OA articles are published by commercial publishers that charge APCs. Publishers fix APCs depending on the reputation assigned to journals by peers. Evidence shows a relationship between high impact metrics and higher, faster rising APCs.Authors express reluctance about APCs, although this varies by discipline depending on previous experience of paying publication fees and the availability of research grants to cover them. Authors rely on a mix of research grants, library funds and personal assets to pay the charges. Two major concerns have been raised in relation to APCs: the inability of poorly funded authors to publish research and their impact on journal quality. Waivers have not solved the first issue. Research shows little extension of waiver use, unintended side effects on co-author networks and concerns regarding criteria to qualify for them. Bibliometric studies concur that journals that charge APCs have a similar citation impact to journals that rely on other income sources.

“…One of the most fascinating aspects of delving into the myriad topics which have been covered in this chapter is to encounter the visions for the future in this radically and rapidly changing landscape. We have seen how "the extension of support now provided by the library is radically redefining the relationships [libraries have] had with our research community" (Walters, 2016) and in turn how "the research environment reconfigures the library" (MacColl, 2010). We have seen how libraries, despite challenges related to funding and staffing, have stepped up and created services and programs that assist their researchers and institutions at many stages in the research life cycle.…”

This chapter outlines libraries' (and librarians') changing identities in the new world of research mandates from funders, institutions, and publishers. As libraries respond to the demands of these mandates on their users at the individual, departmental and institutional levels, they need to revise their approaches to relationship building and user engagement, as well as maintain flexibility in the face of changing roles and skill requirements. This chapter will (1) outline the changing scholarly ecosystem; (2) summarize major terms and concepts to understand the process of producing research outputs; (3) discuss the perspectives of the major players in the research enterprise; (4) present some of the challenges that research mandates and the changing research environment have brought to libraries; and finally (5) review ways in which libraries have successfully addressed them. The focus here is on the academic research setting, although many of the strategies outlined can be equally applicable in both non-academic research and nonresearch funding contexts.

This study aims to investigate the role of the Finnish university libraries in facilitating open access (OA). Empirical data was collected during autumn of 2015 by interviewing employees responsible for activities related to open access in academic libraries. The interviews give a very clear picture of the role and the tasks of the Finnish university libraries in supporting open access. Firstly, the academic libraries operate as experts and consultants in open access practices. Secondly, work related to open access in the university libraries is strongly related to self-archiving (green OA) and institutional repositories maintained by the libraries. Thirdly, the university libraries could participate more actively in supporting open access but their potential to promote open access is tied to other actors-this describes the limited power of the academic libraries as actors in enabling open access. Through their services libraries are credible open access advocates but they need backing from open access decision-makers, in particular public authorities and research funders.
