Abstract

The discussion on the transformation of scholarly journals to open access (OA) increasingly concerns financial aspects. Considering the variety of funding strategies for article processing charge (APCs), the array of cost types for scientific information and the need for data monitoring to promote cost transparency, an integrated view of the financial dimension of the OA transition is needed. This commentary describes the need for implementing an information budget that looks beyond just the library budget and comprehensively targets all financial flows from universities and other research performing organizations to publishers. An information budget promotes an integrated perspective on the distributed costs at a given institution. This centralized approach of assessing financial flows can be used to strengthen the position of research institutions when negotiating with publishers.

从图书馆预算到信息预算:促进向开放获取转变的透明度

关于学术期刊向开放获取转变的讨论越来越多地涉及到财务方面。考虑到文章处理费(apc)的各种筹资策略、科学信息的各种成本类型以及为提高成本透明度而进行数据监测的需要，需要对开放获取转型的财务维度进行综合考虑。这篇评论描述了实施信息预算的必要性，这种预算不仅仅着眼于图书馆预算，而且全面针对从大学和其他研究执行组织到出版商的所有财务流动。信息预算促进了对给定机构的分布式成本的综合观点。这种集中评估资金流动的方法可以用来加强研究机构在与出版商谈判时的地位。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
