From: "Hinchliffe, Lisa W" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 16:59:13 +0000 I imagine the "unexplained" difference is that the Netherlands price is for an OA article in a hybrid journal that creates global access for that article vs the German PAR that is global access for the article + for a portion of the read access DEAL has secured for over 700 German institutions to the non-OA articles in Wiley journals. Whereas, in the Netherlands, institutions must still subscribe to the non-OA content. I.e., the Netherlands has an offset not a PAR agreement.

See: https://www.qoam.eu/Content/documents/Price-per-article.pdf <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.qoam.eu_Content_documents_Price-2Dper-2Darticle.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=EE5vJ-IOLjGK--oAkNW9DMFEo5gGTLnGLRqx-7NCwVg&m=1kHzUw1GpxNr4X4FIkfAzJC6BGEPUXM_EEmJPtAZs5g&s=Z6Js3amuHSiXqUlFHtLwZliIVh08MSi5bgec6kYE1rY&e=> Leo Waaijers ******* From: "Hinchliffe, Lisa W" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 21:40:18 +0000 Today brings an analysis of the financials of this deal from Marcel Knöchelmann - working out to an estimate of the total cost of this deal to Germany being about 30m Euro – see: “The PAR fee of €2,750 is quite high. With the estimated annual publishing volume being 10,000 articles, the initial price tag of the contract may be €27,500,000. This is not explicitly stated in the fact sheet issued by DEAL and is also subject to variation. However, the cost of €27,5m excludes the cost for gold open access. If Wiley’s current rate of gold open access publications is estimated to be 15% for articles in Germany, there will be additional costs for gold open access APCs for about 1,500 articles. This would amount to €2,823,000 (€1,882 x 1,500 if the APCs of Wiley’s fully open access journal portfolio is averaged); with the 20% discount this would be about €2,25m. All in all, the PAR agreement may amount to annual costs of roughly €30m.” https://www.lepublikateur.de/2019/01/16/pay-to-publish-open-access-deal-wiley-agreement/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.lepublikateur.de_2019_01_16_pay-2Dto-2Dpublish-2Dopen-2Daccess-2Ddeal-2Dwiley-2Dagreement_&d=DwMFaQ&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=EE5vJ-IOLjGK--oAkNW9DMFEo5gGTLnGLRqx-7NCwVg&m=1kHzUw1GpxNr4X4FIkfAzJC6BGEPUXM_EEmJPtAZs5g&s=0PCVz--MhibVbL2HU0XNNEiMGhCDLi4UJ2DlCzNJe4I&e=> Another very interesting observation that Marcel includes is that, while Wiley got a PAR fee of €2,750 per article, DEAL had only offered Elsevier €2,000 per article (which Elsevier rejected). I wonder if Wiley has now managed to set the minimum PAR per article payment for the industry – at a level that is actually higher than the average Wiley Gold APC!
