[GOAL] Fwd: [SCHOLCOMM] BLOG: 'Be nice to each other' - the second Researcher 2 Reader conference

[Stevan Harnad]

The time to concel subscriptions is AFTER Green OA has become universal,
not BEFORE, because pre-emptive cancellation just slows the progress of Green OA. 
While Green OA is just partial, cancellation means loss of access. 
And publishers try harder to embargo Green.

> This time last week about 140 publishers, librarians, intermediaries, researchers and others were about to
> start the second annual Researcher 2 Reader conference. This is my take on the event:

> A taster:
> Aaaaaaaaaaargh! was Mark Carden's summary of the second annual Researcher 2 Reader conference, along
> with a plea that the different players show respect to one another. My take home messages were slightly different:
> • Publishers should embrace values of researchers & librarians and become more open, collaborative, experimental and disinterested. 
> • Academic leaders and institutions should do their bit in combating the metrics focus.
> • Big Deals don't save libraries money, what helps them is the ability to cancel journals. 
> • The green OA = subscription cancellations is only viable in a utopian, almost fully green world.
> • There are serious issues in the supply chain of getting books to readers.
> • And copyright arrangements in academia do not help scholarship or protect authors. 
>  The programme for the conference included a mix of presentations, debates and workshops. The Twitter hashtag is #r2rconf.
