Conclusions
1. Still in early stages in Open Access publishing.
2. Academic publishers are rebuilding their business
models: some embrace, some resist and some hide.
3. Embargo periods vary per publisher, only 1 publisher
has agreed so far (Routledge, Elsevier being negotiated).
4. Open Repositories built on open software (DSpace,
ePrints) increase dissemination significantly… but
marketing & outreach are still important.
5. WB focused on technical innovations and building new
partnerships to drive usage and discovery
