I fully agree with Stevan : Peter was the actual drafter of BOAI in
2001-2, and he has remained front and centre ever since.
A little detail : thanks for mentioning Surfaces, but it started in
1991, and you should also mention Stevan's publication , Psycholoquy
which started even earlier.
Best,
I have read with great interest this debate because, in essence, it
summarizes a great deal of the disagreements I have had with Stevan over
the years.
We all share a common goal -- namely OA -- but we do not construe the
function, situation and purpose of research in the same manner.
There is
between core science, so-called, and
the rest.
