Transformative Journals 2023 Report: Progress and challenges in the transition to open access

cOAlition S has released its latest report on the Transformative Journal (TJ) model, a key strategy developed to transition subscription-based publishers to full and immediate Open Access (OA). The 2023 data, sourced from participating publishers, sheds light on the progress and obstacles encountered in this endeavour.

The TJ programme mandates that journals annually increase their OA research content by at least 5% in absolute terms and 15% in relative terms, to fully transition to OA when 75% of their research content is published openly.
