Abstract: (Springer)

In a previous paper it was shown that the recently constructed action for open superstring field theory based on A

_{∞}

algebras can be re-written in Wess-Zumino-Witten-like form, thus establishing its relation to Berkovits’ open superstring field theory. In this paper we explain the relation between these two theories from a different perspective which emphasizes the small Hilbert space, and in particular the relation between the A

_{∞}

structures on both sides.
