Beyond APC : Economically Sustainable Models for Journal Open Access Publishing

[Abstract] This paper systematically analyzes the challenges of the APC model, including pricing opacity, escalating costs, and inequitable access to publication, alongside the inherent limitations of transformative agreements as a transitional solution, particularly cost rigidity and persistently low journal flip rates. These findings reveal that APC-based economic logic is fundamentally ill-suited to sustaining journal OA publishing. The paper then examines the economic rationale, current practices, and practical challenges of three non-APC OA models: Diamond OA, Green OA, and S2O. As the broader adoption of these models remains constrained by evaluation systems, academic culture, market structure, and infrastructure, progress requires coordinated efforts across four dimensions: reforming research assessment, shifting academic community norms and behavior, rebalancing power in the scholarly publishing market, and securing long-term public investment in open science infrastructure, with the ultimate aim of building a diversified portfolio of OA publishing models responsive to the varied needs of publishers, disciplines, and regions.
