Experimenting with Open Access and Institutional Repositories • OUP is keen to experiment with any business model which may help it achieve its mission more effectively than existing models. • Our experiments are designed to discover whether new business models can achieve wider, more cost-effective dissemination than existing models • But in order to be successful any new business model will also need to be financially viable
