John Willinsky, [on the successful Berghahn Books pilot of subscribe-to-open](http://www.slaw.ca/2020/03/04/the-simplest-of-models-for-open-access-to-research-proves-itself-welcome-to-subscribe-to-open/):
> what if libraries agreed to continue paying the subscription fees to journals that they were already subscribing to, only the journals flipped to open access. The libraries would be subscribing to open access by supporting journals to which they were already subscribing, providing those journals with a path to open access.
>
> The advantages of a subscribe-to-open model go beyond this simplicity: The journal moves overnight to complete, immediate open access. No article processing charges (APC) for authors to pay (as in many other open access journals). No 12- 36 month embargoes before the work is open. No revenue loss or quality reduction for publishers. No additional expense for libraries. And no – this one’s a complicated new one – use of a publisher’s subscriptions fees to pay for its APCs to allow a limited number of authors from the subscribing country to make their articles open, which is known as Read and Publish (often requiring months if not years of negotiation).
The Berghahn pilot was a great success, aided by Willinsky's anthropology-focused group [Libraria](http://libraria.cc), which I am also involved with. Exciting times for S20.
