I now have ENORMOUS admiration for Dame Janet, for achieving ANY sort of consensus. However fractured. #openaccess @royalsociety
The original Finch committee to be reconstituted to consider progress against recommendations. Finch 2.0! #openaccess @royalsociety
Steve Hall unhappily reports that most other national #openaccess policies are green. @royalsociety
And he’s not finished yet! Steve Hall “authors need to abide by the government’s policy and not the RCUK policy”. #openaccess @royalsociety
Steve Hall also sceptical of citation advantage and also any benefit from industry access to the literature. #openaccess @royalsociety
Steve Hall threatens to stop IOP’s free-first-30-day-access if there is a move to short embargoes. #openaccess @royalsociety
Prof Kell recommending “grown up” text mining. I like a man who thinks that computational science isn’t scary and futury. #openaccess
Steve Hall of IOP promises hard words for the RCUK policy. #openaccess @royalsociety
Prof Kell explaining and recommending CC-BY. Clearly not a man to think that Open Access is overly complicated! #openaccess @royalsociety
Prof Douglas Kell providing lots of calming explanation about #openaccess and its benefits (there’s a citation advantage!) @royalsociety
Dame Janet believes that green OA will OBVIOUSLY destroy journal businesses, whatever SOME PEOPLE believe. #openaccess @royalsociety
#openaccess @royalsociety Dame Janet “change is inevitable: embrace and manage it”
#openaccess @royalsociety Dame Janet “we were looking for a solution that we believed that everyone could live with”.
Dame Janet starts out clarifying that open access is confusing. Well, TBH it wasn’t that confusing before! #openaccess @royalsociety
Do you know, I think that I may be the only repository manager here at the @royalsociety #openaccess debate
At the #openaccess debate at the @royalsociety 25% of the participants have specifically university affiliations.
Rushing to catch train for #openaccess debate at @royalsociety tonight. Discovered that my phone is down to 20% battery - how will I tweet?
Had to get up early this morning to harvest a crop of organic vegetables (from the front doorstep, left by the farm delivery van).

Thanks to @everybody who has pointed out that the @royalsociety debate is on Wednesday, not tomorrow. That's 48hrs to find a Green shirt!
I really want to grow up and be like @AlexHorne, except that I'm older than him.

RT @butterwolf: I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Movie rental stores. Payphones. I once used a paper map. All of it lost in time, like tears in rain.
