Charles,
Here's my bibliography on the BOAI, in roughly chronological
order. I've put an asterisk beside the better pieces. Unfortunately I
don't know that any of them is the "authoritative article" you're looking
for. But I'd be happy to work with anyone planning to write one.

(This is a radio interview of me. I'm happy with all of it except the way
it ends. Gordon closes with the remark that priced journals justify
themselves by their role in providing peer review. Period. I didn't get to
reply. So he leaves the false impression that BOAI doesn't endorse peer
review, doesn't know it costs money, or doesn't have a way to cover the
costs. To see how I would have replied, see the BOAI FAQ on these points.)
The February issue of the _ARL Bimonthly Report_ is devoted to open access
and contains articles by Mary Case, Peter Suber, and extensive excerpts
from the BOAI.
