The Future of Journals - Dick Kaser interviewing Pieter Bolman, InfoToday
... Q: Going back to where we started the interview, I think this is the first meeting of journal publishers I've attended where I haven't heard the publishers patting themselves on the back by reciting all of the reasons why journal publishing is going to go on. Like, it's relatively impervious because of social conditions, the need for peer review, and the academic rewards system. For so many years, I've heard publishers in denial mode, expressing no reason to be concerned. Am I detecting a difference in outlook this year? A: I think people are somewhat, well, they are concerned, and so should they be. I'm not sure it's plausible, but it's possible at least, that other models will take over or make inroads. I think we should be flexible enough mentally to say, well, OK, if that is the case, we'll accommodate it and adopt a new business model.
