The author of the Budapest Open Access Initiative is a historian applied by training. He says we're living through a major transition in our civilization, with computers all over the world interacting and feeding back into human behaviour. The new context we all know is networked digitization - but it's difficult to fathom because it's an extension of humanity,. But at the same time it's feeding back into humanity in very complex ways.

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.
