Knowledge Exchange (
http://knowledge-exchange.info/) has compiled a collection of interviews, which illustrate how pioneering initiatives - both commercial and non-commercial - set up and operate new or alternative business models in the area of open scholarship. The ten interviewees discuss how their initiatives’ business models respond to new challenges in research dissemination and how their initiatives facilitate open scholarship. The interviewees also offer an insight into the relationship with their users and with other players in the field, and they discuss the infrastructural and technical challenges they have faced so far. Finally the interviews discuss intellectual property issues, such as how to build a viable business model based on open content and standards.
