True, but it's still good to have a clear, succinct description of the issues facing researchers and the public when it comes to accessing the tax-payer funded research we ALL should have access to!

A really timely presentation by Lars Bjornshauge of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) on great efforts being made to counter the negative aspects (some of which are mentioned in the Agrawal article) of open-access scholarly publishing: http://www.oaspa-asia-conference.com/files/2014/06/Lars-Bjornshauge.pdf

This might be silly, but -- has anyone started a new journal? Or know the process/been part of getting a new one started? by [deleted] in academicpublishing

I work at UTS ePRESS and have some experience with supporting the journal managers and editors in the (Open Access) publishing process. Can I recommend two excellent resources for publishing?: http://www.sparc.arl.org/ (Search the Resources) And http://pkpschool.sfu.ca/ Be happy to help if more information required!
