Another editorial misses the target John W. Moore, Does Information Want To Be Free? Journal of Chemical Education, November 2008. An editorial. JCE is published by the American Chemical Society. Excerpt:
Comment. Moore evidently assumes that OA journals have no revenue and cannot be high in quality. His explicit claims are equally uninformed. I don't know a single proponent of OA journals who has quoted Stuart Brand. (Moore is resting on a stereotype here.) And I don't know a single proponent of OA who believes that the case for OA to publicly-funded research implies that all research is publicly funded. These careless assertions would not survive peer review. |
