    Update. Extra kudos to #Zygon for flipping from subscription-based non-OA to #DiamondOA. Based on the cases I've seen (i.e. anecdotally), I'd say that most subscription journals that flip to OA flip to #APC-based OA. They do that either because it's the only OA model they know about (depressingly common) or because it seems to be more lucrative and less risky.

    Has anyone seen data on this? What % of subscription journals flipping to OA flip to APC-based OA and what % to diamond OA?

    Kudos to #Zygon (a journal of science and religion) for flipping to #OpenAccess.

    "The journal was previously pub'd by #Wiley-Blackwell under a subscription…model…1989-2023. As of Jan 2024, the journal & its entire back catalogue will be pub'd by the Open Library of Humanities…Thanks to the #OLH’s #DiamondOA model (funded by an international network of more than 340 supporting #libraries), Zygon is now free to read and does not charge authors publication fees."
