A free screening of an exciting new documentary that takes a critical look at the scholarly publishing industry, focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, and examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publishers.
Join us after the movie for a Q&A with producer/director Jason Schmitt.
