== Criticism ==
Criticism has focused on OASPA's self-declared role as the "stamp of quality for open access publishing", because it is apparently at odds with OASPA's application of its own criteria for membership. Another voiced concern is the fact that OASPA has been founded by [[BioMed Central]] and other open access publishers, which would cause a conflict of interest in their "seal of approval".<ref>According to [http://poynder.blogspot.com/2010/02/open-access-linked-to-alabama-shooting.html Open Access linked to Alabama shooting] and [http://poynder.blogspot.com/2010/02/oa-interviews-sciyo-aleksandar-lazinica.html The OA Interviews: Sciyo's Aleksandar Lazinica] by journalist [[Richard Poynder]], several suspicious OA publishers — [[Dove Medical Press]], [[Sciyo]] and InTech — have at some point been OASPA members. According to [http://www.oaspa.org/members.php OASPA's list of members], none of these three are a member as of February 2011.</ref><ref>[http://scienceblogs.com/bookoftrogool/2010/02/oaspa_act_now_or_lose_credibil.php OASPA: act now or lose credibility forever] by librarian [[Dorothea Salo]], accessed February 13, 2011.</ref>
OASPA has also been criticized for promoting [[gold open access]] in a way that may be at the expense of [[green open access]].<ref>According to [http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/675-guid.html Critique of Criteria for "Full Membership" in OASPA ("Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association")] by scientist and Green OA advocate [[Stevan Harnad]], OASPA accepted [[Oxford University Press]] as a member because it publishes some Gold OA journals, while ignoring that most OUP journals are not Gold OA, and even prohibit Green OA for a year.
