 the savings for Others is much greater, £15.7m when the level of Gold uptake is set at 50%.


 * Substantial savings are made in access provision as the level of Gold increases. This results from libraries undertaking fewer activities in relation to procurement of journals and administration.

Sensitivity 3 - Level of uptake in rest of world versus UK

Table 0.6: Results of sensitivity 3 (figures in £m)

Key points to note are as follows:


 * If, as this sensitivity shows, the rest of the world has a lower uptake of author-side payments compared to the UK (i.e. a lack of global participation) the increase in costs to the UK is potentially very large. For example, if the rest of the world only has 20% of the UK's level of Gold uptake, UK annual costs increase by £25.5m relative to the Central Case.
