Video of the 2024 SSP debate: “The open access movement has failed”
Readers with good memories will remember that back in May last year I announced I would be one of the two participants in the plenary debate that closes the annual meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing. I was cast against type, proposing the motion “The open access movement has failed”, with preprint advocate Jessica Polka providing the honorable opposition.
I posted the full text of my opening argument and of Jessica’s argument in opposition — but not of the shorter rebuttals that each of us gave, or of course the unscripted Q&A that followed the formal part of the debate.
Now, only a year and a bit late, comes the video of the debate! My apologies for the delay: it wasn’t available straight after the meeting, and then I forgot to check back a month later.
I’d like to embed the video in this page, but WordPress won’t let me (not unreasonably — I wouldn’t let people embed arbitrary JavaScript in my site, either). So you’ll have to link through to the SSP’s page with the video.
It’s the only way to find out who won the debate, after all!
