Open access is a derivative of the digital revolution we've got to fit within the digital revolution not reverse the open access objective or open science now. For many scientists the objectives are much more narrow you know I mean they want to read a good lab, have their prizes and get funding for the next project but producing good knowledge is not separable from being accepted by prestigious journals. Open access is about the best production of knowledge possible for human beings their dispersed brains and difficulty to criticize each other it's a contingent way of good strapping ourselves upward and upward.

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.
