Institutions such as the Académie des sciences, the Leopoldina and the Royal Society are acutely aware that the conflation of commercial and epistemic interests in digital publishing today poses the most pressing threat to research standards since the Second World War. That OA – quite against its original intentions – has played a role in this development is a fact that has not been taken seriously enough to date. In effect, this would mean that all scientists working at public German research institutes and all students would have free access to the entire portfolio of the big players, and they could also publish in their OA journals at no extra cost [44]. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/08/bold-open-access-push-germany-could-change-future-academic-publishing ./cache/doi-org-8951.html ./txt/doi-org-8951.txt
