More on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy In my newsletter article Tuesday on Flipping a journal to open access, I cited the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) as an example of an OA publication adopting a strategy similar to the second stage of a two-flip conversion. (Sorry. I know this won't make sense for those who haven't read the article.) SEP's Principal Editor Ed Zalta and Senior Editor Uri Nodelman believe I may have given a false impression of SEP's fund-raising program, and they may be right. The full story of SEP's fund-raising strategy is interestingly complicated and I've often blogged the details. However, in the Tuesday newsletter I only described it as much as necessary to show the connection to the second half of a two-flip conversion. As a result, I omitted many details and may have created a false impression. I'm happy to post this clarification from Zalta and Nodelman:
