Re: "Will open access work?"[1] It is quite untrue to suggest that our report is biased because its funders all have an interest in the existing subscription/license journal publishing model. We deliberately engaged an impartial consultancy to carry out the work in order that the study should be entirely objective – we are perfectly willing to make the anonymized data freely available for others to analyze. And all three organizations have a strong interest in the Open Access model. The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) has issued its own position statement,[2] and is following with great interest the large number of experiments being carried out, by members and others, on different types of Open Access publication.
