Summary:

"In principle, OA publishing is a good idea, as it democratizes access to scientific information. Also, the OA model is forcing traditional publishers to get out of their greed mindset and come up with better solutions. The challenge is operationalizing and regulating OA, to ensure that the model stays credible and sustainable."
