To what extent should we expect publishers who profess a commitment to
Open Access to be open in other ways too? This is a question often
raised in discussions about OA. Some, for instance, argue that OA
ought to go hand-in-hand with open peer review (particularly in light
of the recent “sting” of OA journals by Science). Others have argued
that OA publishers have a duty to be more open in the management of
their business. And it has been suggested that OA publishers should be
more transparent about their finances. But what about when publishers
make use of social media like blogs?

How transparent should they be about who is behind the site, and what
their objective is? This thought occurred to me recently when I was
trying to find out who runs the Open Science blog.
