<div>Fairly straightforward:</div>

</div>
<div>1. None, and from neither of the for profit companies I preside (though for full disclosure I'd really hope they'd be more profitable but just as the other shareholder, I do prefer treating clients and employees generously and this weighs heavily in the
balance). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. I couldn't say I admire the work by Cenyu Shen as I have no knowledge of the work of this author outside of this paper. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My point here was not to criticize Björk- I truly think what he does is essential to our understanding of OA, and besides I'm not immune myself to missing out on the potential consequences of the use of concepts in reports, papers and posts. Nor do I dispute
here the initial usefulness of your list. My point is that if extremely smart, knowledgeable people make inappropriate use of a work of one's opinion, then we need a tool that has a more robust scholarly foundation. You're extremely well positioned to suggest
ways to move forward towards a more robust list, one that would be based on a participatory process. I should hope you'll contribute positively to the exercise. </div>
