Green, gold, platinum, nickel: on the status of open access in mathematics (Q1631474)

Summary: The various facets of Open Access (OA) have been a topic in the EMS Newsletter for many years. Recently, the announcement of the plan of cOAlition S and the choice of Elsevier as a subcontractor to monitor the progress of OA by the European Commission triggered many reactions, including a statement by the EMS. The aim of this note is to give a status report on the various OA facets in the mathematical corpus, which may also provide some quantitative information helpful to estimate the impact of envisioned changes.
