Appendices
Appendix A: Ten Flavors of Open Access
Willinsky, throughout his text, reminds scholars and publishers that open access is not an either/or choice, but a choice that encourages multiple flavors. In appendix A, Willinsky explains open access as home pages, e-print archives, author fees, subsidies, dual-modes, delayed subscriptions, partial open access, per capita access, indexing, and cooperatives.
Appendix B: Scholarly Association Budgets
Appendix B includes the budgets for “twenty-one American scholarly associations” (217). Willinsky includes the total revenue, the publication revenue, royalties, and publication costs for each association.
Appendix C: Journal Management Economics
Willinsky includes the structure of his own Open Journal Systems (OJS) open source software. He outlines how the system saves money and time by assigning specific agents with responsibilities. For example, an author contributing to OJS is responsible for submitting articles in a variety of formats; this clears the publishers from “clerical time, copying, postage, courier, stationary, and editor time” (22).
Appendix D: An Open Access Cooperative
In an effort to more directly address the cost of moving toward an open access system, Willinsky provides the revenue and expenses of JSTOR, which he uses to build an “open access cooperative model” (229).
Appendix E: Indexing of the Serial Literature
Willinsky provides several tables that show the overlap of indexing systems in place today. He includes the Education Index, Academic Search Elite, and ERIC, among several others.
Appendix F: Metadata for Journal Publishing
To familiarize his readers with indexing procedures, Willinsky includes the “Dublin Core Metadata Element Set” (242) from Willinsky’s Open Journal Systems, which clearly outlines the type of information necessary to index an article. Some elements include: title, creator, subject, and description.
