[Irtalk] Open access 2013: A year of gaining momentum | Absolutely Maybe, Scientific American Blog Network

[Hilton Gibson]

Was this the year open access for science reached critical mass?

One hypothesis suggests that a transformative group needs to reach
one-third to be prominent and persisting.

Rogers’ theory on the diffusion of innovations that will eventually reach
saturation level says the first 2.5% are innovators. By the time you get to
16% the phase of early adopters could be ending.
