5. Summary It’s all a bit of a mess It used to be simple But now it is complicated

6. Summary It’s all a bit of a mess We have broken the old system without establishing what the new system is and how it should work. We got it wrong [in 2005 and 2011]: Gold OA has not developed as much as we expected. How do we get out of this mess? We need to approach these questions in aa careful and mindful way? There is advocacy without evidence. Biggest legacy of Finch is that most publishers implemented the hybrid model.
