Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scientific Publications: Free for all?.


Scientific Publications: Free for all?

: Perhaps I could just help with regard to the question from the hon. Member for Norwich, North. The hon. Member for Wantage has mentioned Blackwell Publishing twice now, and its president, Mr. Bob Campbell, said today that if customers wanted to pay for open access, publishers should offer them the appropriate services. Is that not really what the Committee report is asking for? There is a variety of models from which we could choose; it is not just a choice between the publishers' current model and a complete move to open access.
