Wellcome Trust and Charity Open Access Fund evaluate open access spend for 2014-15

Every year, the Wellcome Trust issues a report providing details of the total spend on OA publishing and considering to what extent papers are freely available through the Europe PMC repository and licenced in accordance with the Trust requirements. As a result, the Wellcome Trust has warned some big publishers than unless they improve their service and lower their costs, it could refuse to provide researchers with funds to publish in certain types of their journals.
