Research institutions: warm welcome ! But action still needed…
Publishers (esp. in HSS disciplines): launch of a debate
• Open Access seen as a threat or as an opportunity
• distinction between HSS ans STM (regarding embargos for instance) or
inclusion of HSS with other disciplines
• experimentation of new business models (Gold ≠ APC)
