Let’s hope it leads to concrete implementation sooner than the “Berlin Declaration <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march05/harnad/03harnad.html>” of 2003 (still not implemented in 2016). But let’s also remember that it is not declarations or petitions <http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/0934.html> or even attention that OA has lacked since at least 1994 <http://poynder.blogspot.ca/2014/06/the-subversive-proposal-at-20.html>: It’s action. The 22+ years needlessly lost so far are irretrievable. The question (for future historians <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/december99/12harnad.html>) will be how many more were lost, since 2016, until the optimal, inevitable and obvious outcome — fully within reach for decades — was at last grasped? After all, OA is not (and never has been) rocket science. It’s just raincoat science <http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/179-Raincoat-Science.html>. But I’m just repeating myself...
