Same FY for Princeton

that's the value of savings to the authors; how much is that costing the library, though?

never mind; Jeff just answered!

I get many queries from PPPL asking about Frontiers--is it good quality? is it predatory? should I publish there? etc

HI Anya, Frontier is a legitimate publisher. They are just a relatively new OA publisher. as Laura said, it's not well-know yet. but it's rising as more OA publishing is on the way

We do have a lot authors published with them. OA Fund also supported a few of Frontier publications.

Yes, I generally encourage the researchers to publish there if it fits with their research. I think they ask because they are unfamiliar with the publisher and are frequently targeted by poor quality journals

Anya - Yes, we published in Frontiers often when I worked at the USGS Library - Earth Science, Marine Science, etc...

We are investigating now how we can work with Frontier for our authors.

Sometimes the authors ask because they are not familiar with the publisher and are surprised by the APCs

Understood. It's always good to be cautious.

(In case you are curious about who has the highest APCs in the industry, I pulled some data from early 2021 here: https://www.mtesterman.com/projects/open-data#h.kidjbwp2xpt9 )

👍🏻

Thanks, Meghan.

No doubt that Springer is on the top with their over $10K APC

@Meghan, thank you!

The presentations were heavy on costs, naturally. But here we see we also gain (OA journals etc.) By definition these don't have prices; but is there any way of quantifying what we gain by having access we don't need to pay for?

When an article is OA and found through the ILS discovery, do users have to still go through the proxy server?

Martin, that's a very good question. I think we need to start looking at it from that angle too.

For the many users of our catalog who are not registered as students, faculty or staff, they probably still have no access.
