Thanks Anna for sharing this! And good news, there’s a written transcript available! (A great move for silent reading and catching up at your own pace 
). Here is the PDF:
Interesting discussion, thanks for this. I agree with the panel’s view that DOA is not going to replace commercial publishing anytime soon. There are so many vested interests and the Big Flip can’t happen as long as 1) institutions rate the importance of prestige (brand/university rankings/impact factors) above the Common Good, despite their soft and cuddly mission statements to the contrary and 2) governments protect corporate interests and tax revenues above investment in universal access to research. In the UK, Publishing (in the general sense) has traditionally been called the 5th Estate, the #5 career choice for children of the aristocracy. The other 4 ‘estates’ are still going strong so I wouldn’t bet my 2-man tent on that Golden Delicious apple cart being turned over just yet.
The EU can be the great hope for change in this area so more power to your elbow and thanks for the great work you’re carrying out for Diamond OA. Hopefully, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will appreciate it!
