On behalf of PLOS, SPARC and OASPA I want to thank everyone who provided comments on the open access resource guide, “HowOpenIsIt?” We received more than fifty comments and are reviewing all the feedback. To date, your feedback is prompting changes to 17 of the original 27 openness components. We plan to release a final version during Open Access Week (October 22-28, 2012).  We will also share a high level summary of the comments.
