"[...] it argues that much of the growth in OA has occurred within hybrid journals – resulting in what it sees as “double payment” by the research community."

New study: "Open access publishing: is urology ready? A survey of authors, readers, and editorial board’s knowledge, impressions and satisfaction."

(#paywalled)

Not a good way to run a survey or report the results.

* The results are paywalled.
* The article does not include the survey questions.
* The survey defines #GoldOA, #GreenOA, #DiamondOA, and #HybridOA. But the article only reports the attitudes toward APC-based gold OA. No surprise, they're negative. Yet disdain for #APCs only strengthens the reason to ask about green and diamond OA. If the survey did ask, then what are the answers? If it didn't ask, then why not?
* The survey gives a false definition of green OA, saying that it's always embargoed. That's especially odd since under current US federal agency policies, it's never embargoed.

Can you recommend a good overview of #OpenAccess?
And is there any hope of replacing the opaque terminology?

#SwissUniversities and #SpringerNature conclude second #OpenAccess agreement, which includes some #HybridOA open access publishing in Nature branded journals but no agreement on #GoldOA (e.g. BMC journals). https://www.swissuniversities.ch/en/news/swissuniversities-and-springer-nature-conclude-second-open-access-agreement
