摘要：

【目的】 通过调研“订阅-开放”(S2O)模式的源起与发展,并对比分析讨论该模式相比于其他出版模式的优缺点,为中国传统订阅期刊在开放获取的浪潮中进一步转型发展提供参考与启示。【方法】 采用文献调研、对比分析和案例分析法,分析S2O模式的发展现状及与其他开放获取模式相比存在的利弊,并以EDP Sciences出版社的实践为例,提出传统订阅期刊采取S2O模式向开放获取转型的可行性。【结果】 结合EDP Sciences出版社期刊使用S2O模式转型的实践经验,发现S2O模式对于传统订阅期刊转型较为有利。既给予期刊更多的灵活度与自由度,也不需要过度依赖外部资金的支持,同时符合开放科学的精神,为更多的科研人员,尤其是为资金欠缺地区的科研人员带来支持。【结论】 在开放科学、开放获取的发展潮流中,一些中国传统订阅期刊也在寻求转型与过渡,除了主要的开放获取模式之外,S2O模式也是可行的选择。积极采用新兴开放获取模式有利于中国期刊进一步走向国际,在全球开放科学的交流中获得更多的主动权。

Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper investigates the origin and development of the Subscribe to Open (S2O) model and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this model compared with other publishing models, aiming to give insights into the transformation and development of Chinese subscription journals in the wave of open access. [Methods] We performed literature research, comparative analysis, and case study to analyze the development status of the S2O model and the advantages and disadvantages of this model compared with other open access models. Furthermore, we investigated the feasibility of the S2O model in the transformation of subscription journals to open access by taking the practice of the EDP Sciences as an example. [Findings] Considering the transformation experience of the EDP Sciences using the S2O model, we find that the S2O model is favorable for the transformation of subscription journals, as it offers more flexibility and freedom to the journals and eases their reliance on external financial support. Moreover, the S2O model is in line with the spirit of open science, providing support for a wider range of researchers, especially those in underfunded areas. [Conclusions] In the development of open science and open access, some Chinese subscription journals are also seeking transformation. In addition to the main open access model, the S2O model is also a good choice. The adoption of emerging open access models helps Chinese journals to go global and raise their voice in the global communication of open science.
