<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
