[BOAI] The OA interviews: Philip Cohen, founder of SocArXiv

[Richard Poynder]

Fifteen years after the launch of the Budapest Open Access Initiative the OA
revolution has yet to achieve its objectives. It does not help that legacy
publishers are busy appropriating open access, and diluting it in ways that
benefit them more than the research community. As things stand we could end
up with a half revolution.

 

But could a new development help recover the situation? More specifically,
can the newly reinvigorated preprint movement gain sufficient traction,
impetus, and focus to push the revolution the OA movement began in a more
desirable direction?

 

This was the dominant question in my mind after doing a Q&A with Philip
Cohen, founder of the new social sciences preprint server SocArXiv.
