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.
