Subject: [IRTalk] Paywall - The Movie
Just in time for Open Access Week http://www.openaccessweek.org/ 22-28
October 2018!
If you are interested in screening this film at your university, please
fill out the contact form: https://paywallthemovie.com/contact
*Paywall: The Business of Scholarship* is a documentary which focuses on
the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale
behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic
publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top
academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often
greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple,
Facebook and Google.
The film will be released September 2018. Staying true to the open access
model: it will be free to stream and download, for private or public use,
and maintains the most open CC BY 4.0 Creative Commons designation to
ensure anyone regardless of their social, financial or political background
will have access.
