The project has two phases. Phase One is to make a comprehensive list of scholarly societies worldwide that support gold OA for their own journals. Phase Two will survey the societies discovered in Phase One in order to learn details about their turn to OA, their business models, and the financial and academic consequences of their OA policies.
The first results of Phase One were published in SOAN for November 2007. However, Phase One is not complete and we are still enlarging our list. The current version of our list is OA in an Excel spreadsheet under a Creative Commons Attribution license. We welcome additions and corrections. Phase Two has not yet begun.
