混合OA期刊现状及对图书馆订购策略的影响研究

The Analysis and Research on the Status Quo of Hybird Open Access Journals and Impact on Library Ordering Policy

近年来出版机构支持出版的混合OA期刊数量越来越多,其潜藏着作者论文处理费(APC)和图书馆订购费用重复收取的问题。图书馆亟需掌握混合OA期刊的发展情况、其中OA论文的数量与质量、使用情况,以及APC价格,以此作为依据指导资源订购。本文调研并分析医科院图书馆订购的12个主要全文数据库中混合OA期刊的总体情况,并以Elsevier ScienceDirect数据库为例,分析订购的混合OA期刊中2012—2014年OA论文数量、质量及使用量情况。结果表明,主要数据库中混合OA期刊数量虽不断增长,但OA论文的比例和使用量均不高;混合OA期刊论文APC价格平均为3 000美元/篇,期刊订购价格仍在逐年增加。目前混合OA期刊给图书馆资源订购策略带来的变化不大,但需要持续关注。

In recent years, with the growing number of hybrid journals supported by publishers, it brings the hidden problem of double-dipping, once collecting APCs from authors and again subscription fees from libraries. Libraries have pressing need to learn about the general situation of hybrid OAjournals, as well as the OA article quantity and usage, which will provide basis for making reasonable subscription policies. This paper researches on the quantity of hybrid OAjoumals and their APCs in 12 major databases subscribed by Medical Library, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. From the perspective of OA articles, it, taking the hybrid journals in Elsevier ScienceDirect database as an instance, analyzes the amount, proportion and usage of the OA articles between 2012 and 2014. The results show that the number of hybrid OA journals in those major databases is increasing, however, the proportion and usage of the OA articles is relatively low. The average APC per article in the hybrid OA journals is USD3,000 and meantime their subscription prices keep going up year by year. The development of hybrid OA journals currently has not yet resulted in great changes in library subscription policies, which requires continuing concern.
