et Industrielles (SMAI) have announced today that six mathematics journals will continue to publish in open access under the Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) model in 2022*. This demonstrates the support from the library community for this equitable open access model
which enables open access publication without article processing charges (APCs).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Last year, due to the challenging conditions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the decision to publish in open access under S2O was taken based
on a range of exceptional factors rather than finances alone. In 2022, we are delighted to have reached our targets at the portfolio level, and it has therefore been a straightforward decision to keep the journals open.
