See video of the presentation.During its first two years of operation SCOAP3 funded some 8,000 articles via the transformation of ten existing High-Energy Physics journals into Gold Open Access at no costs for authors. SCOAP3, the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics started in January 2014 after several years of preparation. The initiative is a collaboration of some 3,000 libraries, research institutions and funding agencies from 45 countries and IGOs and is hosted at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Alexander Kohls, the Operations Manager of SCOAP3 will present a review of the first two years of SCOAP3. The specific business model of the initiative ensures a central management of relations with the publishers, and efficient and easy to administer APC payment process and article compliance validation using a dedicated global repository. The presentation will show how SCOAP3 performed in terms of operational efforts, APCs and benefits for the scientific community. The compliance of publishers with policies will be analyzed and all aspects will be reviewed in context of comparable Open Access initiatives in Europe and its potential to expand into other fields. Nina Karlstrøm will add the view of a National Contact Point and present benefits and challenges for national organizations within the SCOAP3 network using her organization CRIStin as an example.

The Way

Unprecedented technological advancements have radically changed the way we communicate and, at the same time, are effectively transforming science into e-science. In turn, this transformation calls for an evolution in scholarly communication. This review describes several innovations, spanning the last decades of scholarly communication in High Energy Physics: the first repositories, their interaction with peer-reviewed journals, a proposed model for Open Access publishing and a next-generation repository for the field. We hope that some of these innovations, which are deeply rooted in the highly-interconnected and worldwide flavour of the High-Energy Physics community, can serve as an inspiration to other communities.
