It is 100% guaranteed anonymous. Who am I? I am an equity research analyst with Macquarie Capital, based in New York. I follow the media industry, including publishing stocks such as Reed Elsevier and Wolters Kluwer. Who is Macquarie? Macquarie Group is the largest investment bank in Australia, with an expanding presence in Europe and North America. We are a global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services. Founded in 1969, Macquarie now employs nearly 15,000 people in nearly 30 countries. Macquarie Capital is the equities research and brokerage arm of Macquarie Group. Why am I doing this? I am interested in the view of librarians as to scientific and academic journal publishing trends, particularly with regards to open access. How will this information be used?
