I think this book tries to be a complete story of open access, and as such, should be a resource for developing this article. I do not yet have a copy. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:43, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
The "Venn diagram highlighting the key features of different types of open access in scholarly publishing" contains mistakes. For example Gold OA and Diamond OA are exclusive, with Gold OA restricted to "author pays", whereas the definition of Gold OA in the page specifies correctly:
The majority of gold open access journals charging APCs follow an "author-pays" model,[13] although this is not an intrinsic property of gold OA.
The diagram also includes two types of "Vanity press", neither of which are defined in the page nor in the source article [1]. Marcrr ( talk) 15:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
I've removed the diagram. There's no need to keep such obviously incorrect imagery. Nemo 18:48, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
FAIR and open access have nothing to do with each other.
A FAIR object can in fact be not open access. They are two different concepts. It's bizarre to see FAIR included in an article on open access.
This could be seen as a personalised assertion, so to support this I refer to external sources including: 1. https://www.go-fair.org/resources/faq/ask-question-difference-fair-data-open-data/
"FAIR is not equal to Open: The ‘A’ in FAIR stands for ‘Accessible under well defined conditions’. There may be legitimate reasons to shield data and services generated with public funding from public access... None of these [FAIR] principles necessitate data being “open” or “free”."
I propose therefore deleting the section on FAIR in this article. Metacladistics ( talk) 08:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
