An Interview with Juan Pablo Alperin and John Willinsky of PKP
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Dec '23

25 Dec '23

Friends, Interested in open access and open science? The name JOHN WILLINSKY may ring a bell to many of you. Not many may have heard of JUAN PABLO ALPERIN, his Ph D student and colleague. They are directors of the PKP (or the Public Knowledge Project that provides the open access software for more than 30,000 journals), *https://pkp.sfu.ca/ <https://pkp.sfu.ca/>*. Here is an interview of both of them by Alice Meadows. Alice, by the way, is the daughter of Jack Meadows, the astronomer-turned-information scientist and author of several excellent books on scholarly communication. He came to India many years ago along with Martin Redfern, the science writer and broadcaster (BBC Radio), to conduct two week-long workshops for science writers, one at NISTADS, New Delhi, and the other at IISc, Bangalore. Here is the link to the interview: https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2023/11/07/kitchen-essentials-an-interv… . John Willinsky is an old friend. He came to India along with Leslie Chan of U Toronto more than ten years ago on a whirlwind tour on a mission of OA evangelism and spoke at several centres including New Delhi and Mysore, and met with the chief of the Indian Council of Agri Research to make the work of ICAR open access. At New Delhi, we had organized a meeting with the support of the Centre for Internet & Society and the CSIR. Dr Naresh Kumar, then Head of Planning at CSIR was very helpful. You may read John Willinsky's writings on Intellectual Property and Scholarly Publishing at *Slaw.ca*, 2021 CanLIIDocs 240, https://canlii.ca/t/t1f0. Happy reading. With warm regards and Season's Greetings, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
