Description

Alongside the open access transformation process, the monitoring, allocation, analysis and presentation of (open access) publication costs becomes more and more important for research institutions to gain a better overview on their financialexpenditures for publishing. Christian Kaier and Melanie Stummvoll will talk about the Austrian approach to harmonise the monitoring of publication costs on an institutional level and to set up national standards. In the framework of the Austrian Transition to Open Access Two [1] project, subproject 3 has developed best practice workflows, information materials, reports and recommendations. The speakers willtalk about findings as well as lessons learned during the four year project phase.
