“…A comparison of the results of this study with those obtained in 2013 (Melero et al ., ) reveals that awareness of reuse and posting rights has improved among Spanish journals. Copyright terms are more accurately expressed and are easier to locate, and the use of CC licences has been increasingly adopted.…”

“…In addition to updating the previous dataset analysed in Melero et al . () by including the new journals introduced to the database and the two new years of development for the entire dataset, this study adds three important dimensions: rights ownership, type of CC licence, and detailed self‐archiving information (which version of a manuscript can be uploaded and when rather than a simple yes/no variable). Descriptive statistics are provided by journal subject, type of publisher, copyright holder, and type of CC licence.…”

“…A previous study of Spanish scholarly journals (Melero, Rodríguez‐Gairín, Abad‐García, & Abadal, ) analysed research areas, types of publishers, publishing models, and self‐archiving permission data extracted from the DULCINEA database in October 2013. DULCINEA is an index containing active scholarly Spanish journals.…”

Openness of Spanish scholarly journals as measured by access and rights

Metrics on open access (OA) availability of content published in scholarly journals (i.e. content licences, copyright ownership, and publisher‐stipulated self‐archiving permissions) are still scarce. This study implements the four core variables of the recently published Open Access Spectrum (OAS) (reader rights, reuse rights, copyright, and author posting rights) to measure the level of openness in all 1,728 Spanish scholarly journals listed in the Spanish national DULCINEA database at the end of 2015. Data exported from the database and used as variables for the analysis were: journal research area, type of publisher, type of access, self‐archiving and reuse policy, and type of Creative Commons (CC) licence used. Out of the total number of journals (1,728), 1,285 (74.5%) published their articles OA immediately after initial publication and thus received the maximum OAS score for reader rights; 37.5% of all journals used CC licences, and 79.5% allowed self‐archiving in some form. In 72% of journals, authors retained or publishers granted broad rights, which included author reuse and authorization rights (for others to reuse), whilst 13.5% did not specify any terms for copyright transfer. Similar studies could be carried out on other countries as this would enable comparisons of the general adoption and form of openness in different parts of the world.

A cluster analysis of the business models of Spanish journals

This article provides an analysis of Spanish journals' business models. It presents an integrated approach to the concept of a business model, looking at (1) economics and finances, (2) operation, and (3) the strategic dimensions of the publishing activities. It is based on a cluster analysis of 327 journals that responded to a survey carried out between November 2012 and March 2013. Our findings revealed four business models that differed mostly in the economic and financial dimensions. The greatest difference between the clusters was in the distribution of expenses, and two different operational patterns were revealed by the allocation of staff and volunteer resources. The main barrier to open access was perceived to be financial limitations by three clusters and organizational structure by one cluster, with the subscription-based journals least likely to be open access or to be tempted to become open access. This is reflected in the recent literature on the theoretical
