Summary: A new report published by Jisc highlights the cost benefits, impact on society and the benefits to researchers as well as their universities in distributing their research through open access routes. For the first time, universities will have the evidence to be able to build their own business case for adopting an open access policy. In this podcast Jisc's Clare Groom talks via Skype with Alma Swan, author of the report, and Neil Jacobs, programme manager for Jisc's open access work, about the report's findings and its implications for universities, researchers and publishers.
