Conclusions
• Considerable potential for OAPEN-UK-style open access model
• Need to increase confidence and understanding of Creative Commons
• A push for CC BY may alienate researchers??• Need to investigate researchers understanding of
publisher’s services• Encourage authors to care more about post
publication elements• Quality is paramount – need to ensure that OA
model tackles negative perceptions
