4. Open-Access Publishing Why We Do It, part 1

5. $232 (2007) $432 (2008) “I feel strongly that what we write today is tomorrow’s historical record, and... the ability to set the record straight should not be limited to students and faculty at elite institutions... The historical record should be open and everyone should have access.” Lee D. Baker Duke University

6. “The system is hidebound, expensive and elitist, they say. Peer review can take months, journal subscriptions can be prohibitively costly, and a handful of gatekeepers limit the flow of information. It is an ideal system for sharing knowledge, said the quantum physicist Michael Nielsen, only ‘if you’re stuck with 17th-century technology.’” Thomas Lin “Cracking Open the Scientific Process,” NYT 1/16/12 H.R.3699 -- Research Works Act (December 16, 2011) – Reverses the trend whereby publicly funded research data is openly-accessible to the public.

7. “The Society has published ecological research in journals widely available to the public in libraries and universities for over 90 years. However, it is important to note that there is a significant difference between research results and peer-reviewed publications. Publishers such as ESA have a long record of reporting, analyzing and interpreting federally funded research. It is not appropriate for the federal government to expropriate the additional value publishers add to research results.” Source: ESA December 20,2011 letter to White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, FR Doc. 2011-28623

8. “…. WTF? How did academia become so risk-adverse? The whole point of tenure was to protect radical thinking. But where is the radicalism in academia? I get that there are more important things to protest in the world than scholarly publishing, but why the hell aren’t academics working together to resist the corporatization and manipulation of the knowledge that they produce? Why aren’t they collectively teaming up to challenge the status quo? Journal articles aren’t nothing … they’re the very product of our knowledge production process.” Danah Boyd Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research Research Associate, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society

9. “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
