What is the intended impact of BOAI on initiatives to make scholarly literature affordable rather than free?

0

We hope these initiatives succeed, because their success will make scholarly literature more accessible than it is today. However, we believe that that the specific literature on which BOAI focuses, the peer-reviewed research literature in all disciplines, can and should be entirely free for readers. If the initiatives working on affordable literature are persuaded by the case we have made, then we welcome them to join us. If they are not persuaded, then we wish them success in making progress toward wider access.
