Nature just published a special issue on the future of scholarly publishing:
http://www.nature.com/news/specials/scipublishing/index.html
There are some true gems in this issue that I recommend reading, in particular:
• Jason Priem on the future of scholarly publishing: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v495/n7442/full/495437a.html
• John Wilbanks on why OA without unrestricted licensing makes little sense: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v495/n7442/full/495440a.html
• Richard van Noorden on the cost of scientific publication: http://www.nature.com/news/open-access-the-true-cost-of-science-publishing-1...
