A major barrier to the greater take‐up of an open access model for journal publishing has been the concern of many journal owners that they will not easily be able to migrate from the current subscription‐based model to open access. This paper presents a potential migration path which should significantly reduce the financial risk to journal owners, while allowing them to offer open access to their authors.
