[BOAI] Interview with Open Access publisher In-Tech/Sciyo

[Richard Poynder]

In their efforts to derail the onward march of Open Access (OA) opponents
have conjured up a number of bogeymen about Open Access publishing. First,
they maintain, asking authors to pay to publish could turn scholarly
publishing into a vanity press. Second, they say, OA publishing will in any
case inevitably lead to lax or even non-existent peer review. Third, they
argue, OA publishing is not financially sustainable. I felt the breath of
all three bogeymen on the back of my neck recently, as I conducted an email
interview with the CEO of OA publisher Sciyo, Aleksandar Lazinica - an
interview that led the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA)
to ask Sciyo to remove OASPA's logo from its web site.
