[open-science] [Open-access] Fwd: [GOAL] Fwd: Business, Innovation and Skills Committee announces inquiry into Open Access

[Jonathan Gray]

Out of interest does anyone know why we are having all of these
renewed consultations and inquiries?

I know there has been quite a lot of behind the scenes lobbying against the
Finch proposals from publishers, learned societies and others.

I wonder if these consultations and inquiries are related to these
complaints and criticisms? If so I wonder whether it would be worth very
publicly restating the case for Finch?
