[Irtalk] The success of Open Access is revealing new dangers. The fight isn’t over yet. | Ouvertures immédiates

[Hilton Gibson]

However, the battle is not over yet because the big publishers, who are
outstanding professionals with remarkably skilled teams have now better
understood the whole potential of OA than most researchers themselves.
After having fought OA very strongly and having declared it evil, still now
trying to strike separate and secret deals with each university
individually, they have dropped their rejection of OA. *Indeed they have
understood that the people to seduce are not the librarians and even less
the University authorities or the funders, but the researchers themselves.*
