In Japan, many journals change from the subscription model to an open access model, and new open access journals are launched in response to the new Japanese government policies and funding schemes. The involved challenges concern not only academic societies, but also libraries at universities and research institutes. I would like to introduce a case study of a gold open access journal, Science and Technology of Advanced Material, focusing on sustainable publishing management and open science policies in Japan.
