14 What does this tell us? Monographs more expensive than thought Staff time is the largest cost item Smaller presses spend less (greater efficiency or underinvestment) ‘No significant determinants of cost’ (eg rent) No standard way of determining overheads Questions around the methodology Are these figures the same for non-American university presses?

15 North American presses will be discussing subsidies with their parent institutions Presses will be looking for higher payments to go OA There may be a serious look at whether this level of spend is worth it for each monograph What Now?

16 How will we measure the impact of monographs? Will going OA be a cheaper way of getting books into libraries On what basis will publishers be evaluated? What kinds of discussions will this report produce amongst OA funders ? Questions
