Have realised that the World Bank seminar event mentioned in my
previous post is now accessible (but wasn't available live). Very interesting and thought-provoking. As the finalists of the
ASAP commented, getting tenure assessment committees to recognise the extra work required to evaluate open access publishing remains a key barrier to growth in OA.
Off-topic, was impressed that the videos made use of the open source software; this is probably the first time that a non-geek institution has made extensive use of the
WebM format (via 'Kaltura', it seems according to the web page source code) to deliver multi-media content. Well done, World Bank!
By the way, the video can be downloaded via the following web page source code
hyperlink (note: file size is about 510 MB).
