In the second part of this episode, Nikesh Gosalia and Robyn Mugridge kick off their discussion by addressing the two main barriers that prevent societies from adopting open access — financial risk and differing mindsets. Robyn breaks down the concept of transformative agreements; these are contracts intended to ease the transition toward open access, but their effectiveness remains questionable. Next, Robyn shares her predictions for the future of academic publishing, such as the increasing popularity of short-form content and possibly even a TikTok for science. She thinks that the publishing industry is going to change from the siloed industry it is currently into being more collaborative, encouraging fluid team effort. She talks about the Frontiers for Young Minds program, a current effort by Frontiers to popularize science among the youth. Robyn also acknowledges the role of AI in publishing and how AI can be used to boost publishing quality without replacing human decision-making. Robyn then talks about her personal strategies for staying updated with changes in the industry, from real-life conferences to email newsletters. To wrap up, Robyn shares a key piece of advice for those starting out in publishing: find your niche.

Robyn Mugridge is the Head of Publishing Partnerships at Frontiers in London. A strong advocate for open access, Robyn is a member of the ALPSP Education Committee. She has over 7 years of experience in the publishing industry with different organizations, including the Springer Nature Group and NIHR Journals Library.

Every day, over 8,000 scholarly articles are published—but how do they become discoverable, citable, and connected across journals, databases, and platforms? The answer lies in the invisible infrastructure of scholarly publishing: metadata, persistent identifiers, and interoperability. In this episode of Insights Xchange, we’re joined by Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref, the organization behind the DOIs and metadata standards that make modern academic publishing possible. Ed shares what it means for Crossref to be the “plumbing” of scholarly communication, why metadata is the unsung hero of research visibility, and how open infrastructure is shaping a more inclusive and discoverable global knowledge ecosystem. We also explore how AI and machine learning are accelerating the demands on metadata, what true interoperability means for equity in global research, and what Ed would redesign if he had the chance to build the scholarly communication ecosystem from scratch. If you've ever cited a paper or searched for one online, you're already benefiting from the quiet systems Ed and his team have built. Tune in for a fascinating look at the trust, tech, and transformation powering the research world.

For journals, the shift to open access can feel like venturing into the great unknown, but is there a way to make this process easier? In this episode, Nikesh Gosalia speaks with Robyn Mugridge about the adoption of open access practices. Robyn debunks some common myths surrounding open access, talks about how paywalls could hold back scientific progress, and suggests what commercial publishers can do if researchers can’t afford the APCs. Robyn also shares her predictions for the future of academic publishing, such as the increasing popularity of short-form content and possibly even a TikTok for science. She thinks that the publishing industry is going to change from the siloed industry it is currently into being more collaborative, encouraging fluid team effort. She acknowledges the role of AI in publishing and how AI can be used to boost publishing quality without replacing human decision-making.
