The authors of the new toll-access book 'Scientific Publishing: from Vanity to Strategy' [1], the University Twente Group Hans E. Roosendaal, Kasia Zalewska-Kurek, Peter A. Th. M. Geurtz, and with Eberhard R. Hilf have published an Open Access
Summary [2] together with all of the book's 167 printed links to open access full texts sources, updated and checked.
Though the book is not a hybrid publication (open access online; buy print on demand) this
Summary may serve to spread the main messages of the book and to allow the reader to surf in the
Summary's multitude of links given.
The main message may be seen as that the present realization schemes of Open Access may not be sufficient to make it a success. Instead it needs the breakup of the traditional value chain of publication services into specific specialized services, each served by stakeholders who see an incentive in doing so, and competing with each other in the emerging scientific information market.
In doing so, the service with the best professional service realization will win. With the precondition of Open Access for all scientific documents a huge spectum of powerful intelligent service types will enhance the effectiveness of scientific work, such as worldwide intelligent document-mining, competitive parallel refereeing (overlay journals, bunch-printing on demand, community-embedding etc.).
