What are the economic implications of publishing research open access? What
do economically efficient models for open access look like at the moment,
how do they differ between different kinds of publishers, and what might
they look like in the future? Is there a sufficiently robust funding stream
to finance open access? How variable is this across the world and across
the various disciplines? How do we build sustainable models? What can we
learn from other digital sectors?


In this webinar chaired by Dr Stuart Taylor, Publishing Director at the
Royal Society, different perspectives on the economics and sustainability
of open access publishing will be presented and discussed by panelists Dr
Rupert Gatti, Fellow and Director of Studies in Economics at Trinity
College, Cambridge, and Cofounder of Open Book Publishers; Liz Ferguson,
Vice President of Editorial Development at Wiley; and Claudio Aspesi, an
independent consultant in the media and publishing industry.
