First, development is now slowed by practices called 'predatory' companies seeking to 'surf' on the wave, marring the reputation of the model and questioning the quality of research generated. Meanwhile, the momentum that was born in response to the capture of scientific papers by a limited number of private publishers is hampered by the opportunistic behavior of the traditional players who remain impervious to its values. Thinking to the practical implementation of the Open Access paradigm is essential to his consecration as a credible alternative model. On the occasion of the theme THINK OWF, we will try to provide some answers to frequently critical issues such as the (s) model (s) economic (s) Open Access (gold open access, green open access, open access diamond, etc.), infrastructure and legal instruments available and / or those set up (licenses, libraries, infrastructure lines), strategic and governance issues in research centers, the problem of validating the research or the ownership of data and metadata search ..."
