I'm not one to say that the blog has no value at all, but this report is almost entirely framed by the work of Scholarly Kitchen authors and really suffers from a narrow range of commercial-centric perspectives as a result.
For example, publishing is identified as shifting 'away from more traditional models of publishing and towards a service-provision model.' This is a commercially minded perspective and ignores so much of the work around community-led models of publishing (that npub1ck5pcp20clf2rwulkknq8rxdkpfmdc0ggpv4ll2dvtuwqa4x059qqra5nx (npub1ck5…a5nx) highlights).
The report also mentions diamond open access in passing, which is something that really cannot be reduced to the idea of service provision unless you understand publishing as nothing more than a business. This means the report doesn't take non-commercial models of OA seriously, which clearly affects how the interviews themselves play out.
