[Documentary] Paywall: The Business of Scholarship
"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.
Staying
true to the open access model: it is 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.
