4. “In my view, substituting open access for closed access journals is a necessary but not sufficient change to our system of academic communication. We need to recognize new modes of publication and dissemination of knowledge that are relevant beyond the academy, and we need to formalize credibility in this new, broader context. That would be truly radical.” John Hawks Paleoanthropologist University of Wisconsin-Madison http://johnhawks.net/weblog/topics/metascience/tenured-inertia-2012.html
