<p>The white paper on Business Models for Open Access proposes that there is no single ideal business<br>
model for Open Access that can be adopted as standard. It describes the current landscape in which<br>
there are multiple approaches to OA publishing, many of which are adopted by OPERAS members<br>
to suit their particular circumstances, although the APC and BPC models still predominate especially<br>
among commercial publishers. The paper describes the business models adopted by members both<br>
from the point of view of publishers, and of service providers such as Knowledge Unlatched, as well<br>
as looking at models emerging elsewhere such as in the USA and at national level in some European<br>
countries, where interesting collaborative approaches are being undertaken. The paper analyses the<br>
pros and cons of different models, and concludes with some suggestions for ways of bringing greater<br>
stability and sustainability to Open Access publishing models.</p>
