In support to Sandy's second point, It is striking how the “common ground” idea overlooks the dialectical opposition between ends and means: * The objective of a “for profit publisher” is, as the name says it, to make profits by the means of publishing; * Whereas a “not for profit”

Dear Heather, Thank you indeed for disseminating all this. But there is a factual error. HAL is not an OA platform for the Social Sciences (as the overlay journal ARIMA revue africaine de la recherche en informatique et mathématiques appliquées shows clearly). It

Hi, There is still one piece missing (well… in fact quite many, the bill is still on its way. Missing as of the consultation phase.). On Friday the 16th, after a 24h notice, a brainstorming meeting (called GouvCamp) has taken place in Paris (too bad for those not being in Paris or around) to

One might even wonder if permitting researchers to make a copy of their work available in a repository could entail an uplift of downloads at the publisher’s web site, thus leading librarians to subscribe: http://www.peerproject.eu/fileadmin/media/reports/20120618_D5_3_PEER_Usage_Study_RCT.pdf
