The future of Open Access should not be left to the legacy publishers

peter.suber's bookmarks 2017-11-06

Summary:

"It is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect the legacy publisher’s shareholders to voluntarily forgo their projected profits. The interests of the legacy publishers cannot co‑exist with the ideals of many of us in the Open Access movement.

The way forward for Open Access, therefore, can not be guided by the legacy publishers."
