Pull quote: “Why is writing a book about open access, getting paid for it and having it published by a publisher that charges for the book not hypocritical? First of all, the core goal of the open access movement is to remove toll access barriers to the primary scholarly literature. This book is not part of the primary scholarly literature. It is a general introduction to a topic, almost a textbook if you will. As such it is more of a professional trade publication. But it is not a scholarly monograph.”
