Description

In my presentation, I’ll look at the current state of cost monitoring in Finland, drawing on my experience as the leader of FinELib’s APC project and the chair of an expert group chargedwith reviewing the total costs of OA for Finland. I’ll describe our approach including our attempts to harness the Finnish VIRTA Publication Information Service for the purposes of cost monitoring and not forgetting some of the challenges encountered alongthe way. Questions I seek to address also include: What do we know (or think we know) already and what other aspects we should consider to get a better picture of the various costs associated with scholarly publishing?
