Excerpt from the conclusion (my rough translation): "New technologies offer the possibility of transforming the process of electronic publication. We currently see four fronts on which change is sought: new business models permitting free access to scientific information, production and distribution of scientific information by universities (the self-organization of knowledge), new forms of cooperation among participants in the value chain, and the lowering of prices for scientific information due to increased competition."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
