Andrew Adams (2007) has written a powerful, relentless and devastating critique of (the Open Access aspects of) Kevin Taylor's (2007) "Copyright and research: an academic publisher's perspective." Adams cites other archivangelists in support of his position, but this lucid, timely, rigorous and compelling synthesis is entirely his own. It will be seen and cited as a landmark in the research community's delayed but inexorable transition to Open Access. Taylor, K. (2007) Copyright and research: an academic publisher's perspective.

However, although Kevin's views on other aspects of copyright and publishing may well be irreproachable, his views on Open Access need substantial rethinking.) Stevan Harnad
