understood the objective to be to make scholarly research articles, in some
form, accessible to all those who needed to read them.<SPAN

'immediately', 'published version' and 'free to reuse' may have
acquired <SPAN class=179345612-10122013>quasi</SPAN>-religious status, but
are surely secondary to this main objective.</SPAN></P>

originally (but no longer) denied by OA's main proponents - is the undermining
of publishers' businesses.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If this

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US>If – as we have

for scholars to do, why have so few of them done so voluntarily?<SPAN

very curious that scholars have to be forced, by mandates, to adopt a model
which is supposedly preferable to the existing one.</SPAN></P>

going to be able to address the problems we face in making the growing volume of

(whether Green, Gold or any combination) will either. I think the
solution, if there is one, still eludes us.</SPAN></SPAN></P>

lang=EN-GB>This wacky article is going to be fun to review. I still think Jeff
Beall is doing something useful with his naming and shaming of junk OA
journals, but I now realize that he is driven by some sort of fanciful
conspiracy theory! "OA is all an anti-capitlist plot." (Even on a quick skim
it is evident that Jeff's article is rife with half-truths, errors and
downright nonsense. Pity. It will diminish the credibility of his valid
exposés, but maybe this is a good thing, if the judgment and motivation behind
Beall's list is as kooky as this article! But alas it will now also give the
genuine "predatory" junk-journals some specious arguments for discrediting
Jeff's work altogether. Of course it will also give the publishing lobby some
good sound-bites, but they use them at their peril, because of all the other
nonsense in which they are nested!) <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV></DIV>

be about making scholarly content open-access, its true motives are much
different. The OA movement is an anti-corporatist movement that wants to
deny the freedom of the press to companies it disagrees with. The movement
is also actively imposing onerous mandates on researchers, mandates that
restrict individual freedom. To boost the open-access movement, its leaders
sacrifice the academic futures of young scholars and those from developing
countries, pressuring them to publish in lower-quality open-access journals.
The open-access movement has fostered the creation of numerous
predatory publishers and standalone journals, increasing the amount of
research misconduct in scholarly publications and the amount of
pseudo-science that is published as if it were authentic
science."</SPAN></I><SPAN lang=EN-GB><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV></DIV>

scholarly communication, fostering research misconduct and the publishing of

instituting a policy of exchanging funds between researchers and publishers,
the movement has fostered corruption on a grand scale. Instead of arguing
for openaccess, we must determine and settle on the best model for the
distribution of scholarly research, and it's clear that neither green nor
