Next week is the international Open access week. It will be drawing attention to it here in the blog. You could warm up before that by reading Richard Poynders series of interviews on the State of Open Access. He has interviewed many of the top people within open access. Most of these people are in agreement that there has been a lot of progress in the last century. That being said, there is still problems e.g. with implementation of open access.
