More on the college presidents' endorsement of FRPAA
Scott Jaschik, Momentum for Open Access Research, Inside Higher Ed, September 6, 2006. Excerpt:
PS: Read the whole article. To focus on the college presidents' letter, I had to cut some good background on new ACS AuthorChoice program, announced yesterday, and some new and desperately bad arguments from the AAP against FRPAA. (Allan Adler of the AAP "rejected the idea that taxpayer financed research should be open to the public, saying that it was in the national interest for it to be restricted to those who could pay subscription fees. 'Remember — you’re talking about free online access to the world,' he said. 'You are talking about making our competitive research available to foreign governments and corporations.'") |
