ALPSP sets out OA 'facts'
Blackwell and Macmillan bosses jump on anti-open access bandwagon
Bobby Pickering
Leading lights in the scientific publishing community in the UK have endorsed the findings of a new ALPSP-backed study on open access publishing.
The Facts About Open Access report has been compiled on behalf of the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) to establish, in the words of chief executive Sally Morris, "a baseline of comparison with traditional subscription publishing".
The findings, the core of which come from emails sent to OA publishers listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals website, are not good news for the open access movement. They raise doubts about the quality of peer review editing, impact factors and editorial independence (see right).
