The story behind:Fruits of the the serials crisis
Impossibility of buying journals for many libraries Anger and outrage about high revenues of scientificpublishers among scientists and politicians Idea of Open Access, but no publisher willing to
implement it
Problem: High costs, no way to refinance than grants likethe humanities. Solution: Publishing by internet, not only used for
distribution and upcoming web based peer review, but
also for production

Success from crisis
2001 the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics(ACP) was founded as an Open Access Journal by EGS,
now EGU (European Geosciences Union www.egu.eu) 2009 it is one of the three leading journals in this area,
has about 600 papers per year
ACP page production is growing about 25 % every yearand its impact factor reached 4.9
The main competitors: AGUs Journal of Geophysical Research / D: Atmospheric :
about 1000 papers/year (growing 15 %), impact factor 3.1(constant)
Elseviers Atmospheric Environment. About 800 papers/yr

Success factors1. the early adoption of open access: everybody can cite =>
maximizing impact factor
2.
a most lean production: service charges < 50 % of 3. elaborated public peer review workflow /discussion journal
boosts quality
4. automated editor (and referee) choice for large publications(> 60 editors)
5. integration of institutional sponsors for open accesspublishing (MPG, CNRS INSU, DFG, VW, Univ. Gttingen)
6. early web 2.0 community building7. sophisticated alert services8. integrated meeting management system

Public Peer Review
After quick access review the article is publicly discussedin a forum, also referee reviews are public Advantages: All traditional quality enhancements transparency via public documented decisions (Discussion
journal, all comments are paginated)
less problems with plagiarism, intrigues and scientific fraud maximum quality of reviews low rejection rates (10-20% vs. 30-70%) provides empathy with the journal

Conference management as successfactor for journals
Conferences produce proceedings, mostly as specialissues, i.e. more articles
Financial contributes / cross-subsidization Conferences are widening contacts for fresh referees
(session programme => appropriate colleagues), over
10,000 participants per conference Constitute and strenghen network Updated profiles / addresses once a year

Conclusions
Open access journals can reach or outrange traditionalA-journals.
Lean production costs and better quality lead to success:in quality and quantity and in economics (> 500,000 $turnover of one journal). Open Access is a prosperingbusiness model.
A web community supports the promotion of the papers,provides new authors and reviewers, spend ideas forlean workflows, and strengthens empathy with theproduct.
