‘APCs in the Wild’ - Could increases in the monitoring and consolidation of funding accelerate the transition to open access?
Accelerating the transition to OA will involve bringing together multiple different funding streams, as well as tackling complex questions regarding redistribution of existing funds. Developments in OA business models and infrastructure are improving the ability to monitor article OA status and spending, a step that is crucial to enabling institutions and research funders to make informed decisions about funding for Gold OA, in particular with regard to agreements with publishers. However, there are still many APCs 'in the wild', in other words payments that are harder to monitor and that institutions and funders may be unaware of.

Springer Nature’s newest whitepaper: “APCs in the wild’ which highlights and shares key findings from interviews with 16 institutions and explores survey responses with Springer Nature authors concerning APC funding. https://bit.ly/2Kkc5xJ
