Summary:
"So far, Knowledge Unlatched has been focused on the humanities and social sciences, where 60% of the output approximately is in books. But we decided we want to cover the whole field of research, and next year will be moving into STM. We want to expand the model to all publications so that we don’t always have to explain this small and very limited laboratory experiment we’ve had so far to see whether it works. I think what’s really needed in the field of open access is of consolidation and a powerful intermediary that helps consolidate all these different open access initiatives."
