RE: Oxford Journals release preliminary findings from open access experiments: final report now available online

["David Goodman" <David.Goodman@liu.edu>]

Any commercial publisher with sense is going to do OAChoice, and 
how quickly it becomes full OAJournals will depend on the results 
they get. Their hope (and mine) is that if it succeeds it will 
encourage transition to OAJournals. For much of what most 
commercial publishers have to offer, OAJournals are the best 
chance for long term survival.

When I find a publisher whose print journals are at the (very) 
high end of the spectrum *and* which also advocates Open Access, 
I ask myself:  What's wrong with my brain---why does it expect 
coherence...?  Maybe there is a vast conspiracy out there :-) 
Maybe the "big publishers" advocate OA as a means to make sure 
that the small, independent journals go out the board?

Would someone care to list all the "big publishers" whose 
*majority* of print journals are expensive (take the per page 
cost, if you will) and who also advocate OA?
