For journals, the shift to open access can feel like venturing into the great unknown, but is there a way to make this process easier? In this episode, Nikesh Gosalia talks to Robyn Mugridge about the adoption of open access practices. They start by discussing Robyn’s journey from an English lecturer to an open access proponent at Frontiers. Robyn debunks some common myths surrounding open access and talks about how society journals can transition into Gold Open Access through Frontiers’ Article Processing Charge (APC) model. Nikesh and Robyn discuss the drawbacks of the subscription model in publishing. Robyn talks about how paywalls could hold back scientific progress and reiterates that open access is the way forward. She addresses the issue of expensive APCs and what commercial publishers can do if researchers can’t afford the APCs. She also offers ideas on potential alternatives to APCs — value-added services that publishers can use to generate revenue. Finally, Nikesh and Robyn discuss the latest OSTP mandate that requires the results of taxpayer-funded research to be open access. They also briefly touch on the evolution of open access in Asian countries, with a focus on China and India.
Robyn Mugridge is the Head of Publishing Partnerships at Frontiers in London. A strong advocate for open access, Robyn is a member of the ALPSP Education Committee. She has over 7 years of experience in the publishing industry with different organizations, including the Springer Nature Group and NIHR Journals Library.

For journals, the shift to open access can feel like venturing into the great unknown, but is there a way to make this process easier? In this episode, Nikesh Gosalia speaks with Robyn Mugridge about the adoption of open access practices. Robyn debunks some common myths surrounding open access, talks about how paywalls could hold back scientific progress, and suggests what commercial publishers can do if researchers can’t afford the APCs. Robyn also shares her predictions for the future of academic publishing, such as the increasing popularity of short-form content and possibly even a TikTok for science. She thinks that the publishing industry is going to change from the siloed industry it is currently into being more collaborative, encouraging fluid team effort. She acknowledges the role of AI in publishing and how AI can be used to boost publishing quality without replacing human decision-making.

Insights Xchange: Conversations Shaping Academic Research
In the second part of this episode, Nikesh Gosalia and Robyn Mugridge kick off their discussion by addressing the two main barriers that prevent societies from adopting open access — financial risk and differing mindsets. Robyn breaks down the concept of transformative agreements; these are contracts intended to ease the transition toward open access, but their effectiveness remains questionable. Next, Robyn shares her predictions for the future of academic publishing, such as the increasing popularity of short-form content and possibly even a TikTok for science. She thinks that the publishing industry is going to change from the siloed industry it is currently into being more collaborative, encouraging fluid team effort. She talks about the Frontiers for Young Minds program, a current effort by Frontiers to popularize science among the youth. Robyn also acknowledges the role of AI in publishing and how AI can be used to boost publishing quality without replacing human decision-making. Robyn then talks about her personal strategies for staying updated with changes in the industry, from real-life conferences to email newsletters. To wrap up, Robyn shares a key piece of advice for those starting out in publishing: find your niche. Robyn Mugridge is the Head of Publishing Partnerships at Frontiers in London. A strong advocate for open access, Robyn is a member of the ALPSP Education Committee. She has over 7 years of experience in the publishing industry with different organizations, including the Springer Nature Group and NIHR Journals Library.

For journals, the shift to open access can feel like venturing into the great unknown, but is there a way to make this process easier? In this episode, Nikesh Gosalia talks to Robyn Mugridge about the adoption of open access practices. They start by discussing Robyn’s journey from an English lecturer to an open access proponent at Frontiers. Robyn debunks some common myths surrounding open access and talks about how society journals can transition into Gold Open Access through Frontiers’ Article Processing Charge (APC) model. Nikesh and Robyn discuss the drawbacks of the subscription model in publishing. Robyn talks about how paywalls could hold back scientific progress and reiterates that open access is the way forward. She addresses the issue of expensive APCs and what commercial publishers can do if researchers can’t afford the APCs. She also offers ideas on potential alternatives to APCs — value-added services that publishers can use to generate revenue. Finally, Nikesh and Robyn discuss the latest OSTP mandate that requires the results of taxpayer-funded research to be open access. They also briefly touch on the evolution of open access in Asian countries, with a focus on China and India. Robyn Mugridge is the Head of Publishing Partnerships at Frontiers in London.

Nikesh Gosalia and Mark Hahnel continue their discussion on making scientific data public, talking about the idea of publishing negative data and the unequal explosion of gold vs. green open access. Mark makes a strong case for keeping all data openly available in time-sensitive research fields such as COVID-19. He also discusses how open access could propel research to the next level: if all research data is available online, AI technologies could sift through it and detect trends that humans can’t. Keeping with the theme of technology, Mark touches on the role of blockchain in decentralized sciences and Figshare’s focus on building policy-compliant infrastructure to make resilient, long-lasting technology. He also shares his thoughts on collaborative efforts between humans and AI, citing the Google DeepMind project AlphaFold as an example of a successful project. Mark talks about some open science initiatives that have caught his attention, with a special focus on Cassyni, a company that uses technology to improve the impact of lectures. To end this episode, Mark shares his opinion on the factors that are preventing the mass adoption of open science.

Join host Nikesh Gosalia as he chats with Mark Hahnel from Figshare about the creation of the Figshare platform. Mark talks about his background in genomics and how a gap year spent travelling eventually led him to do a PhD in stem cell biology. As a PhD student, he experienced struggles while trying to publish his research findings, and this inspired him to build his own publishing platform, which is now known as Figshare. For Figshare’s 10th anniversary, Mark reflects on Figshare’s collaboration with Digital Science and how the visionary thinking of their CEO led to Figshare being created before open science became common practice. Mark talks about the different versions of Figshare, from the free figshare.com which is open to everyone, to purpose-built versions of Figshare meant for specific organizations. This ties in with the open science concept of “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”, where not all datasets should be publicly available for safety. Mark shares his thoughts on what academics want out of publishing: something fast, good, open, and possibly free. He also addresses some drawbacks of Figshare, such as quality control, lack of data curation, and content monitoring issues.
