Some simple spreadsheet research using @OpenAlex and the R package openalexR
Counting from 2020 to 2025, there have been over 58,000 items published under the Subscribe to Open model and it's roughly doubling every year.

Fans Of Open Access, Unite: You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chained Libraries
Fans of open access, unite: you have nothing to lose but your chained libraries
When books were rare and extremely expensive, they were often chained to the bookcase to prevent people walking off with them, in what were known as “chained libraries”. Copyright serves a similar purpose today, even though, thanks to the miracle of perfect, zero-cost digital copies, it is possible simultaneously to take an ebook home and yet leave the original behind. For a quarter of a […]

The Royal Society is committing to its values by choosing the fair and sustainable #SubscribeToOpen model for #OpenAccess publishing! More comments by me and my @ems_press colleague Laura Simonite in this Nature article https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02483-0 #s2o
Over 374 journals now using the Subscribe to Open (S2O) business model to provide open access to the research articles they publish.

It used to be true that all the S2O journals were fee-free, but unfortunately some 'variants' have arisen in which there are author-side page charges. I have added a column to the wiki to indicate which charge author-side fees.
Despite major challenges, all six maths journals from EDP Sciences & SMAI will stay Open Access in 2025 through Subscribe to Open (S2O).
Many thanks to all libraries and partners who maintained support — your backing is crucial.
Thank you to @degruyter_pub for converting the _Journal of Perinatal Medicine_ to #OpenAccess under the #SubscribeToOpen model.

Advancing #OpenScience
In 2024, we supported open science through #GoldOA, #DiamondOA, and #SubscribeToOpen. This year, Radioprotection successfully transitioned to #OpenAccess, while
#AandA_journal and mathematics journals thrived!

The recording of the OASPA deep-dive into 'Subscribe to Open' aka S2O is now up https://www.oaspa.org/events/wayfinders-4-a-deep-dive-into-s2o-subscribe-to-open/
Really worth checking this out if you're not familiar with S2O.
The key thing to remember with S2O is that authors can make their work open access with no author-side fees under this model - it doesn't matter what your affiliation is. Enabling truly equitable open access. Diamond OA is best, but S2O is a pragmatic middle-ground and worthy of supporting too...
Taylor & Francis is trialling the Subscribe to Open model of conditional open access for 3 (out of ~2700) of its journals.
Honestly I like the binary nature of S2O. The future volume will either be entirely open access (without author-facing charges) or NOT, depending on library participation. In comparison to the really shitty 'hybrid' model where only a smattering of articles from wealthier research institutions are OA, its an improvement
News| Equitable open access is key to knowledge sharing. Our 2024 Transparency Report highlights how the #S2O model supports non-author-paid OA in mathematics, ensuring fairness for readers and researchers alike.

Retour d’expérience sur le modèle #SubscribeToOpen (#S2O)
Ce modèle permet la publication de revues en #OpenAccess sans frais pour les auteurs et les lecteurs, si un nombre suffisant d’institutions y sont abonnées.
Bilan : une contrainte budgétaire mais une hausse de niveau des revues
#VoieDiamant
A recent article from @cnrs_insmi about #SubscribeToOpen in #Mathematics. While this model for #OpenAccess presents some challenges, there can be no question that it has so far been a success in our subject area: https://www.insmi.cnrs.fr/en/cnrsinfo/subscribe-open-model-open-science-success-story #OA
And, #medlibs and #CollectionDevelopment people -- is there something like #SubscribeToOpen, but for journalism?
I would love to see libraries, especially health sciences libraries, supporting The Sick Times.
This month we published 3 new titles in our Memoirs series, all free to read online via #SubscribeToOpen, and available for purchase in print via our website. Follow the links below for each titles:
Volume 8: The Universal Coefficient Theorem for C∗-Algebras with Finite Complexity https://ems.press/books/mems/280
Volume 9: Positive Energy Representations of Gauge Groups I https://ems.press/books/mems/281
Volume 10: The Lévy Flight Foraging Hypothesis in Bounded Regions https://ems.press/books/mems/282
One of many good things about working with @AnnualReviews is the top notch copy-editing. E.g., for my piece https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-linguistics-031422-124743 the copy-editor noticed some missing words in a quotation (a tracked changes mishap) *and reintroduced them* by consulting the original 1786 (!) source :TipHat:
Another good thing is that Annual Review of Linguistics is now fully open access thanks to contributing libraries & institutions (the #SubscribeToOpen model) — a pleasant surprise.
This is a huge success for @ems_press and the mathematics community!
It took less than 5 years to transform the EMS Press business from traditional journal subscriptions to a point where we publish all journals as #OpenAccess in 2024 with #SubscribeToOpen (22 journals) and #DiamondOA (4 journals). Faster, cheaper and more sustainable than any transformative agreement – and all this on a global scale! 😎
Thanks to all authors, editors, reviewers, subscribers, and of course our team for contributing to this. 🙌
