Pinter first aired her vision for a Global Library Consortium approach to supporting Open Access monograph publishing at the Charleston Conference in 2010.

Her tour included a keynote presentation[3] on academic publishing and the future of the monograph at Queensland University of Technology,[3] arranged by Lucy Montgomery, who would go on to become deputy director of Knowledge Unlatched.

[13] As the role of preprint servers during the COVID-19 crisis indicates, Open Access is not antithetical to maintaining quality controls with regard to disseminating research results.

[17] The jury for the prize awarded by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and Brill Publishers voted unanimously for Knowledge Unlatched.
