Learn why Open Access Journals matter. Watch Paywall: The Business of Scholarship.

Paywall: The Business of Scholarship is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rational behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit magin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google.
