Right now we're getting increasing FUD from the sides of Elsevier  Co
against emerging open content journals. I don't think there's a turning
of the tide, though, as early adopters have already embraced alternative
channels of publication (physicists and math people foremost in arXiv),
and it's only a matter of time before more conservative branches of
science (medical, chemistry and biology people: that's you) are to follow.

We might be getting the publishing monopolists to try grasping for DRM for
paper copyright. I'm wondering why they haven't started watermarking
their .pdfs yet, shough a crawler looking for phrases or computing
document hashes would do just as nicely.

Either way, the librarians are attempting to revolt using whatever
little leverage they have. Fact is, the budgets are shrinking, and
the shelves are emptying, while the content owners have established
a de facto pay per view.

Hi David,

Although I agree with you about the copyright issue, I think that this
kind of thing is pretty common with academic journals. I'm not saying
that makes it right, but it is true.  Every time I get a paper published
in a book or journal I have to sign away my rights to the paper.

It is a wonderful little earner for the academic publishing industry
generally.  They have academics working for free to generate the
content, and then they charge other academics to get access to the
journal. I think it is another one of those fucked up things that we
can't do very much about.  However I would imagine that the publishers
of academic journals would say that there is such low readership that
without free content and exorbitant fees to libraries the entire thing
would not be profitable, i.e. they couldn't make enough money to pay the
people who work to actually print the journal.  At the moment P2PJournal
is not making any money, is not charging you to read the journal, and
everyone is putting in their time for free.  As it happens I have yet to
have any say in the copyright issues.  I'm working on trying to get the
P2PJournal to serve the best interests of the P2P community.  I will
pass on your comments to the Editor-in-chief.

BTW, I think the standard deal with most journals is that you can
publish the work on your own personal website as well - but it would be
good to make that explicit.

As for a complete copyright share - personally that sounds fine to me,
but one could argue that if the same work was completely free to be
published anywhere else then why would anyone want to read the
P2PJournal.  I'm not sure I totally buy the argument myself, but I think
the reason that most academic journals and conferences give for holding
on to the copyright of the papers they publish is that if they didn't
then they would be unable to maintain their readership or attendees.
Whether this is true or not is open to question.

There is also a sot of contradiction in terms of having a P2PJournal
with restrictive copyright rules - but then such is life.  Let us see
what we can evolve.

Unless things have changed in the last few years, that's not true. When I
was at the Biomedical Library in Mobile, we had to make very sure that
profs there had gotten *written* permission to put their previously published
papers on their websites (which we ran for them), and even pictures of book
covers. It most definitely wasn't automatic, at least not with most publishers.

Recommended Pro freedom discussion list

2003-12-03 Thread Freematt357
[Note from Matt Gaylor:  I've been on this list for a couple of years and on
occasion I find the discussion lively and interesting. It's coming from Kent
State University, the place where actual real assault rifles were used May 4,
1970 to wound 9 and kill 4 student war protesters. Ohio Guardsmen opened fire
during a noontime demonstration.  For a chronology of the shooting please go
to: http://members.aol.com/nrbooks/chronol.htm. I can think of no better way
to
remember the fallen, than by discussing liberty via the school they
attended.]

What I find most interesting in this article is not MS marketing noise but
the comment about the White House, robot.txt, and Google...

Truly a despicable act for a -public servant-.

 Hi David,
 
 Although I agree with you about the copyright issue, I think that this
 kind of thing is pretty common with academic journals. I'm not saying
 that makes it right, but it is true.  Every time I get a paper published
 in a book or journal I have to sign away my rights to the paper.
 
 It is a wonderful little earner for the academic publishing industry
 generally.  They have academics working for free to generate the
 content, and then they charge other academics to get access to the
 journal. I think it is another one of those fucked up things that we
 can't do very much about.  However I would imagine that the publishers
 of academic journals would say that there is such low readership that
 without free content and exorbitant fees to libraries the entire thing
 would not be profitable, i.e. they couldn't make enough money to pay the
 people who work to actually print the journal.  At the moment P2PJournal
 is not making any money, is not charging you to read the journal, and
 everyone is putting in their time for free.  As it happens I have yet to
 have any say in the copyright issues.  I'm working on trying to get the
 P2PJournal to serve the best interests of the P2P community.  I will
 pass on your comments to the Editor-in-chief.
 
 BTW, I think the standard deal with most journals is that you can
 publish the work on your own personal website as well - but it would be
 good to make that explicit.

 
Unless things have changed in the last few years, that's not true. When I
was at the Biomedical Library in Mobile, we had to make very sure that
profs there had gotten *written* permission to put their previously published
papers on their websites (which we ran for them), and even pictures of book
covers. It most definitely wasn't automatic, at least not with most publishers.
