Academic publishing is shifting from printed paper to purely electronic forms, such that Open Access is taking on a new and overriding significance. Although many academics support Open Access, many questions remain: Should impact factor have become a measurw for scientific quality? Does „publish or perish“ define our careers? How may scientific fraud be uncovered before it is published? And, not least, who should pay for our publications? Publishers, universities and funders all feel the pressure, and all feel exploited. The
complexity of this debate will be discussed by representatives of two major publishing groups (Nature and Elsevier), the German Research
Foundation and the Rector of the University of Freiburg.
