EAGER: shift+OPEN: Catalyzing the transition to diamond open access

该项目将评估一种独特的方法的可行性，以促进STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)和HSS(人文和社会科学)期刊采用开放获取(OA)。目标包括翻转目前在另一家出版商使用订阅模式出版的两种期刊，并将该期刊移植到可持续的钻石OA模式。该提案处理了需要新的可持续性模式的紧迫性和风险，并将分析一个新的财务框架和一个新的可能产生重大影响的新出版模式的战略可行性，以便在完全不受阻碍的开放获取的基础上促进和维持科学和学术研究的成果。假设一个强大的钻石出版计划将有助于加速STEM和HSS的研究(尽管不一定以相同的速度)，并通过这样做，激励知识的创造和进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will assess the viability of a distinctive approach to stimulate the uptake of Open Access (OA) in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and HSS (humanities and social sciences) journals. Goals include flipping two journals currently being published using a subscription model at another publisher and migrate that journal to a sustainable diamond OA model. The proposal addresses the urgency and risk in the need for new sustainability models,and will analyze a novel financial framework and the strategic viability of a new potentially high-impact publishing model for advancing and sustaining the outputs of scientific and scholarly research on a fully unencumbered open access basis. The hypothesis is that a robust diamond publishing program will help to accelerate STEM and HSS research (although not necessarily at the same rate), and by so doing, incentivize the creation and advancement of knowledge.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
