What they're against is not making money. Keep an eye on how many publishers are currently moving to exploit the PLoS ONE business model for open access now that it's proving so profitable.

I recall Elseivier didn't show up at the Open Access workshop at the AAAS meeting in 2005. At least their representative didn't speak up when the audience was asked for comment.

So far, the author-pays open access models have proven unsustainable for journals other than high-volume, low editorial oversight models. If business models are invented that are truly sustainable, I think you'll see many publishing houses happy to embrace them (just as so many are making all articles freely accessible after a fairly short time period).

Many are parts of not-for-profit research centers who use publishing as a means to raise funds to pay for research. Others are the lifeblood of scientific socieities who provide great services for the community. These are things that are probably worth trying to preserve.

I hope there won't be many dissenters if I posit an increase in GDP resulting from a healthy populace. I'm not just talking about outsiders being admitted to the community. I'm saying that information as an ecology has resources that if opened to the community, could provide insights that are unlikely to happen in the current situation. So access is a generally healthy thing, but access for all will be unpredictable in terms of productivity. Federating all data, irrespective of scale will happen in the near future. Denying access is something I wouldn't want to be remembered for. Let’s look at access to research like access to healthcare.

The government funded it for many years to maturity. It was open sourced a few years ago and lives happily in a user-supported community. Publishing houses' hegonomies have been carefully cultured to fit into a model of the economy. I don't believe it is our responsibility to maintain the environment intact for their benefit. It's like owning a twenty foot python. David,

I think that access to research is a complex issue, and there are many excellent arguments in favor of it. I just think the argument that because some of it is paid for by taxpayer funds that it must automatically be freely available to all is one that doesn't hold water, given the nature of so many other things for which our taxes are used.
