Thanks Richard, You are right that there is no financial information in this report. We want this report to focus on the progress relevant to scholarly communities. The financial information is a different aspect that I prefer to address separately.
We are preparing a simple finance oriented report (but not as detailed as PLoS has been doing) for the 2015-2017 period where we will highlight the evolution of our APC range and distribution, of number of fully waived journals and articles, of the discounts and waivers, of the subsidized not-for profit projects, and of the sponsoring of academic events and awards. This will take a few more weeks to finalize.
