@JohnWillinsky says #greenOA is a failure "because it's been around for 25 yrs and hasn't taken off" but said #diamondOA needs more support though he says was around for a similar period. Did I get that right? #OAI13
Curious how it seems @JohnWillinsky again appears to double-down that the commercial publishers "have earned our trust" (his words not mine) and are the solution for fair pricing and immediate OA. Am I in a #glitch? Anyone else hear that? #OAI13

Researchers currently are already able to submit to "foreign" journals, but are disincentivized from doing so if such pubs are unknown to their evaluators. Not seeing how this would result in determination of fair APCs. #OAI13
