The future is Open Access

In this short film dr. Arianna Betti explains how she uses Open Access publications in her daily work and how Open Access can speed up research and increase collaboration between scholars.

Dr. Betti: 'Right now, we still must choose between Open Access and prestige. Let's keep our copyright. Let's put our publications online available in repositories. Let's choose the journals that have the best Open Access policies. And let's create new Open Access journals. At some point in the future there will be no distinction what so ever between prestige and Open Access. Because the future is Open Access.'

have understood what Arianna is saying, if seen singularly. There is still to be answered: Why using OJS (Open Journal System) and not a Wikipedia? The MediaWiki (MW) used for WP is open source. Why not using a blog system? Like Wordpress . org as it is cost free. In WP . org and MW u can have reviews (WP even with author rights). WP blog u can setup under specific copyright issues (CC or others), MW just as CC. - Why should be OJS better? Or is it just another tool on the market ?

@IMCOnAir There is no mention of using OJS by Arianna. There are many tools to make research Open Access available. Which one is used depends on different factors. But again: there is no mention of OJS, so in this context there is no answer to your question.

At some point in the future, open will become part of the definition of science for the verification and reproduction of results.
