Response to Publishers attacks on Open Access
SPARC Open Access Newsletter, issue #113 September 2, 2007 by Peter Suber
Will open access undermine peer review?
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/09-02-07.htm#peerreview
In this article Peter Suber gives a response to publishers claims that Open Access Journals will undermine and eventually destroy Peer Review Toll-Access Journals.
Suber begins by saying, "As soon as governments started contemplating policies to ensure open access to publicly-funded research, publisher trade associations and lobbying coalitions objected that the policies would undermine peer review." He gives 15 responses to these fears and closes with, "I'm saying that publishers have not even come close to making good on either of their claims, that OA archiving would kill TA journals or that killing TA journals would kill peer review."
