Summary:

"I think funders have been the most important drivers, not researchers, at least not in the humanities and social sciences at large. To me, that is the  reason why open access is more successful in STM than in HSS — there is simply more money in the system. And that has an impact also on the author side — who cares about $1,500 if they work for a pharmaceutical company? But if you are a professor of history at a Midwestern college that money might be an issue for you. So, I think that funders have been really driving that development."
