Sponsor Talk: Open Science, a Publisher’s perspective
Over the past decade, Open Access has become a mainstream publication model, with increasing support from international organizations, universities and the European Union. De Gruyter has been one of the first publishers to embrace Open Access and now has an impressive OA book and journal portfolio, which has been growing both organically and through acquisitions. Launching new journals and flipping subscription ones to OA is always a challenge, however, figures show that not only is it possible, but can be beneficial to the journal in the long run.
