Summary:

Use the link to access the storify introduced as follows: "To conclude Open Access Week 2012, BMC Medicine hosted a twitter chat with Stephen Curry, Mikael Laakso and Bo-Christer Björk to discuss the growth and future of open access publishing.  Following the publication of their research on the growth of research being published in open access journals over the last decade from Mikael Laakso  (@mikaellaasko) and Bo-Christer Björk (@bjorkbobi), much conversation throughout OA week 2012 would suggest that the 'academic publishing game has changed irrevocably' (to quote Stephen Curry (@Stephen_Curry) in his coverage of the article).  This article, along with recent developments prior to and during OA week, were the backdrop for our discussion. Selected highlights from the discussion follow below introductions from some of the participants."
