Resources for Gold Open Access for Learned Societies

Commentary on Martin Eve's step-by-step guide to starting an open-access journal https://www.martineve.com/2012/07/13/starting-an-open-access-journal-a-step-by-step-guide-table-of-contents/.

Useful, broad, measured perspective from Felice Levine with a focus on how the OA position might develop in the US "The best current intelligence for where we are in the US is that the US Federal Government is not likely to issue a narrowly tailored policy on OA which would constrain or define business models. It is clear about the value of OA but it has not mandated particular models of OA. Will there be arrogance from US journals towards non-US scholars and their need for OA? The current model (and the AERA parallels most learned societies) provides toll-free links to authors' webpages and institutional archives of publications and online-first publication. If this does not satisfy the requirements, then the author-fee option is still there."
