  10. Open Access Despite growth in OA journals, articles, submission levels to subscription journals continue to grow Hybrid OA uptake continues to decline Studies consistently rank OA at the bottom for author priority Compliance with OA policies remains low A Low Priority for Most Researchers

  11. Open Access Public and Private Funding Agencies see OA as beneficial—more bang for their buck Introducing OA Mandate Policies Introducing Enforcement Policies Moving from the Carrot to the Stick

Finch Report Implementation OA journals (including hybrid) should be the main method of publication of research, especially publicly funded research OA should be funded through APCs More effective and flexiblefunding arrangementsfor OA Minimize restrictions on use and re-use Summary of Findings

  16. Open Access Broadening access to the research literature is a good thing Adversarial nature of the discussion is counterproductive Our job is to figure out how to make it work A new shared understanding needs to develop of the interlocking roles of the various parties: researchers, policy-makers, funders, university managers, librarians, publishers and other intermediaries…The future development of an effective research communications system is too important to leave to chance. Finch Report The Bottom Line
