Thank you for this URL. I listened to it and said to myself: only the French (I was born there) can defend open access with lopsided arguments...

Two noted mistakes:

* PLoS does not practice peer review and relies on comments after publication !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Gold, i.e. OA journals, really means author-pay OA journals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, in the latter case, many publishers are intent on propagating this false conflation of Gold and author-pay as it is the business model they use to preserve their revenue stream in the OA context.

The battle for vocabulary and words  is also part of the battle for OA.
