<div>I wonder if there is a competitive opportunity here? If Nature and Science prefer to embargo for a "Nature" or "Science" press release, I can see where this has traditionally been a good service for universities and their researchers. However, in the process
of transition to open access, there are opportunities for researchers and their employers and funders (universities, research organizations and research funders to recapture some of the prestige that academia has so graciously gifted to commercial scholarly
publishers in the past. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A Nature / Science press release reinforces the value and prestige of Nature / Science (conferring some reflected glory on researcher and university).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A researcher or university-led press release leading to the university IR primarily reinforces the value and prestige of the scholarship and the university. This approach has the potential to attract more / better researchers and students and support for
the important work of universities and research funding agencies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just a thought!</div>
