SCOAP
– NOW!

What/Who is SCOAP3?
• An innovative model to achieve open access to peerreviewed journals in high-energy physics (HEP)
– Converts HEP articles in the leading journals to “gold”
open access
• SCOAP3 converts an ENTIRE discipline – first ever
• The services of the publishers of these articles and
journals are fully acknowledged
– Quality assurance in the publication process (peer review
and editorial services)
– Provision of the final published versions
• The objective is to convert content in these journals
from their current subscription-based model to open
access, while preserving the values provided by
quality publishers and publications
What/Who is SCOAP3?
• The product of extensive coalition-building with
stakeholders in the community of scholarly
communication across the world
– Researchers/authors, funders, libraries and publishers
• Out of this community, SCOAP3 has created an
international consortium that will centrally contract
with HEP journal publishers
• CERN, the center of the global high-energy physics
community, has led the SCOAP3 efforts and will
administer/host this effort going forward, sharing
leadership with the global community
• Budget envelope: 10M€/year (2014-2016)
SCOAP3 Steering Committee

“to address the key question of the price reduction for content today in large-scale
subscription packages and eventually to be converted by SCOAP3 to Open
Access [...and] collect requirements, analyse principles, and suggest ways
forward toward a concrete implementation and monitoring ”

SCOAP3 Tendering Process
• Spring 2012 – publishers of HEP journals
invited to submit proposals for participation
• Evaluation process was based on:
– Price per article quoted by publisher (based on
2011 article volume, with price to hold steady in
2014-2016)
– Quality (Impact factor, CC license, format, etc.)
– Agreement to reduce subscription $$ according to
volume of articles converted to Open Access

When Will SCOAP3 Start?
• NOW
• Late 2012 and thru Q1 2013, work being undertaken
among SCOAP3 partners to sign agreements, establish
national contact operations, calculate $$ of existing
subscription funds in order to redirect these to SCOAP3,
and reconcile the amounts with publishers
• 2013 thru Q2-3 CERN will establish the SCOAP3 article
repository, create attendant services, and negotiate final
contracts with participating publishers
• “Go-live" on January 1, 2014
• The effective award of contracts will cover all new HEP
articles published in participating journals in the years
2014, 2015 and 2016 – no price increases
What Comes Next?
• Libraries work through a designated contact to calculate &
upload the calculated $$ to a “reconciliation facility”
• Training/documentation will be provided
• Cost reductions proposed by libraries and publishers will
be reviewed as part of a reconciliation process, to
determine final amount
• The SCOAP3 office at CERN, in liaison with the national or
consortial contact points, will monitor this process and
organize negotiations if needed
• Once these arrangements are put into place, ongoing
operation of the consortium will be overseen by a
governance organization comprising representatives of the
SCOAP3 partners in the respective countries
Who are the Contacts?
• Details on country contacts are currently being
finalized. Check http://scoap3.org to find out which
organization(s) globally are involved
• Sign up for the SCOAP3 listserv at:
http://scoap3.org/contact.html
• Or visit http://scoap3.org for the latest news
• US: write to Ann Okerson ([email protected])
– A listserv is being established for US library contacts
– Also for US library consortial directors
– A US web site will be populated at:
http://www.lyrasis.org/scoap3usa
Summary Partnership Benefits

envisioned as a collaborative and open project of the
global community it serves.
• Contributing partners will:
– have reductions in subscription costs to journals
participating in SCOAP3
– have a voice in the governance of SCOAP3
– have the option to automatically populate their
institution’s digital repository with the SCOAP3 peerreviewed articles
