dc.description.abstract	Academic libraries and research institutions worldwide work with publishers for Open Access deals and this process has transformed scholarly publishing into an Open Access network that responds to the Open Access movement. The Max Planck Society plays a leading role in the Open Access movement allowing authors from participating institutions to publish open access at no cost. An increasing number of Open Access journals are supported through Article Processing Charges (APC's) also known as publication fees. The APCS’s have now become the dominant business model for the funding of gold open access. This model allows authors to pay the publisher a fee to get their articles published in Open Access journals. The Department of Library Services (DLS) at the University of Pretoria offers support and administers Open Access funds to subsidize Article Processing Charges (APC'). The expenditure on APC’s cost more than double and researchers end up using their grants to cover APC’s.	en_ZA
