From: agnes.henri <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 07:07:03 +0100 In response to your question about transitioning subscription journals to open access, at EDP Sciences we've done this successfully for 3 of our journals: Oil Gas Sciences and Technology, Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems and Parasite. EDP Sciences is a non-profit, society-owned publisher, so we felt it was important for us to prove viability of open access for established journals. For us this move has been very successful, and we're seeing improving impact factors as a result, and now work with other societies to help them make similar transitions. I will be happy to answer any questions Best regards, Agnès Henri Publishing Director EDP Sciences www.edpsciences.org
