arena</b>. In addition, great attention is given to the incentives, actions and influences of <b>meso-level actors</b>: groups, communities or organisations such as universities, disciplines, scholarly societies or publishers because of their enormous impact
on developing open scholarship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
