This is not exactly what you envisaged when you came up with the open access initiative. The PDF format itself was actually derived from a protocol which had been invented to unify the relationship of computers and printers it just says it can be printed anyplace now. This my children and the next couple generations who have been probably much more attuned to really digital documents are going to say PDF is complete nonsense.

Open Access is one of the pillars of Open Science. In this episode I am talking to Jean-Claude Guedon from the University of Montreal (Canada). Jean-Claude is one of the authors of the declaration of the Budapest Open Access Initiative from 2002. He is also an expert on scientific communication and its history.
Who better to take us through the road that led to the Open Access declaration, what has become of it and where (we hope) it will go.
