摘要

The area of conflict between willingness (conclusion of transformation contracts with large publishing groups in order to achieve rapid OA transformation across the board) and ability (limited budgets of academic libraries) requires reliable forecasts of the development of publication output and the level of article processing fees. The paper presents different pricing strategies of publishers and discusses the implications for statistical analysis. The article is rounded off by the author's appeal to rethink the expectations of libraries with regard to OA transformation in order to ensure sustainable financing of Open Access publishing.
