Yesterday I went to the Research Information Network’s Workshop on the RIN/DTI/RCUK Evidence-based Analysis of Data on Scholarly Journal Publishing, published last month. There’s a full account in the offing, as soon as I make sense of my notes. I can sum it up though with the much-used phrase, “more research needed”.

The full report may be seen here: http://www.rin.ac.uk/data-scholarly-journals. Stevan Harnad published a critique, feeling that the report reflected the interests of publishers more than those of researchers : http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/142-guid.html.
