Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of the SCOAP3 model, aiming to achieve a transition of peerreviewed literature of an entire field, highenergy physics to open access. Designmethodologyapproach An historical survey of publishing patterns in highenergy physics puts open access in that discipline in context. A detailed, quantitative study of the publishing landscape in highenergy physics is discussed, providing the economic basis for the SCOAP3 model. Findings The yearly publication output of highenergy physics is concentrated on six journals by four publishers. This relatively compact publication landscape and the historical cohesion of the community make a transition of the entire field to open access feasible. Research limitationsimplications The results relate to a very specific field with a high potential for migration to open access. In open access there is no onesizefitsall solution, and other fields have to proceed to similar analyses to identify their most convenient model on the road to open access journals. Practical implications The SCOAP3 initiative seems to be a sustainable way for a transition to open access of scientific publishing of an entire discipline. It could serve as an example, and an experiment, in the search for viable business models for open access. Originalityvalue The paper provides an insight into the design of a business model for open access around the particular needs and publication landscape of a particular discipline.
