The fifth Q&A in a series exploring the current state of Open Access
has been published. On this occasion the questions are answered by
Joseph Esposito, President of Processed Media.
Esposito is a former publisher and now publishing consultant. He is
also a self-professed "advocate of open access publishing", so the
topic of OA is clearly right up his street.
Esposito has a number of noteworthy things to say. He argues, for
instance, that despite its merits, and apparent traction, OA will
nevertheless remain a marginal activity. As he says, "I don't see OA
becoming the primary form of scholarly publishing."
