Are you aware of those developments?
Did the association form?
Of so, what is the name and contact for the association?

Thanks in advance.

Time for universities to focus on the core business – education. Let’s hope any future developments are sensible enough to take an Open Access approach and adopt new technologies rather than echoing the publishing failures of the past.
