<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The requirements are to redirect subscription funding previously allocated to the SCOAP3 journals to SCOAP3, via Lyrasis, and to (I believe) sign an agreement with Lyrasis authorizing them to sign the SCOAP3
MOU on their behalf. There is a reconciliation process that Lyrasis can help with to determine the amount of funding appropriate for redirection. Our understanding is that publishers deducted the relevant amounts from all library subscriptions back in 2014
when SCOAP3 launched – Lyrasis should be able to work with libraries to determine particulars. The initial agreement for Phase 1 was for a 3-year period 2014-2016; the continuation for Phase 2 is for the next 3-year period 2017-2019.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The withdrawal of 2 IOP journals from SCOAP3 has had minimal impact. One of those journals, New Journal of Physics, was not previously a subscription journal, so removing it from SCOAP3 eliminated a financial
drain on SCOAP3 funding. It publishes about 4 articles per year so the impact is essentially nil. The second IOP journal, Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, was only partially funded by SCOAP3, so the impact in terms of article counts and dollars
is also minor. A third IOP journal, Chinese Physics C, has remained in SCOAP3, and there are other society journals that continue to participate (several are published in partnership with commercial publishers). SCOAP3 is healthy and robust; the partnership
has grown well since its initial launch, compliance with its open access terms is virtually 100%, cost control has been outstanding with very good cost-per-article metrics (per-article costs decreasing, user downloads growing), and the Phase 2 prospects look
very strong. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There is a SCOAP3 information page with contact information at Lyrasis at
<a href="http://www.lyrasis.org/scoap3usa">http://www.lyrasis.org/scoap3usa</a>. Ann Okerson has served as the key outreach coordinator in the US on behalf of Lyrasis and can help with additional questions (<a href="mailto:ann.okerson@lyrasis.org">ann.okerson@lyrasis.org</a>).
Folks interested in more detail may also want to check out the December 2016 SCOAP3 webinar, slides and a recording of which are available

<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone help me with these two questions relating to SCOAP3? I’ve looked through the website, but wasn’t able to find anything. I’ve contacted LYRASIS to see if they know, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to respond in the time I need
the answers (today!). <o:p></o:p></p>
