 Which of these has the least to gain from going open access as presented in this article?
If we remove price barriers alone, we provide gratis OA , and if we remove at least some permission barriers as well, we provide libre OA . But at the same time, all three allow at least one limit on user freedom: an obligation to attribute the work to the author. If there are complexities, they lie in the transition from where we are now to a world in which OA is the default for new research. In principle, any kind of digital content can be OA, since any digital content can be put online without price or permission barriers. Second, scholarly journals generally don’t pay authors for their research articles, which frees this special tribe of authors to consent to OA without losing revenue.
