Abstract

Many publishers tried flipping, or extensively changed their journals flipped. They considered that converting an established journal into OA journal is more attractive than launching an entirely new OA journal. After conducting a careful literature review, this study provided the background and current situations on flipping. There are flipped OA journals alive published by commercial publisher, society, university, and institute in the field of science and medicine. This study found the increased number of published articles after flipping, with 69% of 97 flipped OA journals in 2015 having impact factors. Also 92% of the journals experienced rising in ranking of impart factor, or achieved it for the first time. It was suggested that the roles of academic society, funding agencies, and universities when it comes to active flipping.

현재 정기구독제에서 오픈액세스 학술지로 전환을 시도하거나 이를 점점 더 강화하는 국내외 출판사가 많다. 이러한 전환은 정기구독제 학술지를 오픈액세스 학술지로 바꾸는 것이 오픈액세스 학술지를 새로이 창간하는 것보다 유리하다고 판단한 출판사에 의하여 주도되고 있다. 이 연구는 오픈액세스 학술지로의 전환이 나타나게 된 배경과 최근 동향을 선행연구를 통하여 파악하였다. 연구결과 이러한 출판 모형의 전환은 과학과 의학 분야에서 활발하게 시도되고 있었고, 학회, 대학, 기관 등 비영리 기관뿐 아니라 상업적인 출판사도 이를 적극 추진하고 있었다. 2015년 현재 정기구독제에서 오픈액세스 학술지로 전환한 97종을 분석한 결과, 전환후 출판 논문수가 증가한 학술지는 69%였다. 전환후 새롭게 영향력지수를 득하였거나 영향력지수 순위가 상승한 학술지는 92%에 달하였다. 이 연구는 학술지의 오픈액세스 전환을 위하여 학회, 연구후원기관, 대학이 각자 담당하여야 할 역할이 무엇인지를 제안하였다.
