Also Taylor & Francis plans to go more open access within hybrid open access program Routledge Open Select

(…) we believe that adding social science, arts and humanities journals to the Open Select programme will provide important venues for scholars in these fields who wish to publish in highly-regarded journals on an Open Access basis. We will offer authors the choice to pay to make their research Open Access upon payment of an Article Publishing Charge (APC), or to publish without the APC, whereby research is available for individuals and institutions to purchase.
