Interview with Open Access publisher In-Tech/Sciyo

["Richard Poynder" <richard.poynder@btinternet.com>]

In their efforts to derail the onward march of Open Access (OA) 
opponents have conjured up a number of bogeymen about Open Access 
publishing. First, they maintain, asking authors to pay to 
publish could turn scholarly publishing into a vanity press. 
Second, they say, OA publishing will in any case inevitably lead 
to lax or even non-existent peer review. Third, they argue, OA 
publishing is not financially sustainable.

I felt the breath of all three bogeymen on the back of my neck 
recently, as I conducted an email interview with the CEO of OA 
publisher Sciyo, Aleksandar Lazinica - an interview that led the 
Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) to ask Sciyo 
to remove OASPA's logo from its web site.
