ConfidenceAttitudes Agree Disagree

Attitudes Agree Disagree Open Access is the future. Do it now! I am the editor of an open access journal myself, and I fully support the drive to liberalise and democratise access to data, research, and all types of knowledge.

Attitudes Agree Disagree This obviously comes from free-love-style academics whose grasp of reality departed decades ago. The whole world doesn't need access to my research; non-specialists cannot be expected to understand it but can be expected to misinterpret it and thus portray me or my colleagues as demons because of our findings or conclusions. This happens all the time when you allow regular people to misunderstand academic things! Why would you promote this as a general rule?

Attitudes Agree Disagree I would like to publish in open access, but because I do not have a research funder, I cannot afford to. As a graduate student, my heart stops when I hear that OA journals want money in order to publish. I barely have money to eat!

Attitudes Agree Disagree Open access is a good for developing countries since they may not be able to pay for a subscription. But if they have to pay for publication, then it will be again a problem. Open Access articles will be the way to go, especially in the developing countries!

Attitudes Agree Disagree Publishers, perform an invaluable role in maintenance of scientific standards and the protection of intellectual property. I recognize the value added by publishers, but I know many of my colleagues do not. …all the "hard" work is done by authors, editors and reviewers!
