Asunto: [ACCC] Debate sobre publicaciones en revistas científicas
Scientists around the world are preparing to boycott scientific journals unless they make old research papers available for free.
The strike has been called as part
of a larger plan to establish a vast online library of scientific research
material, much of which is currently in the hands of the journals rather than
the scientists who did the work.
The researchers behind the boycott say the library is needed to preserve
academic freedom, stimulate study and creativity and ensure that science stays
free of commercial pressures.
But the call to set up the library is meeting resistance from publishers and
academic associations, which are keen to protect their copyright on scientific
papers.
In September this year, many scientists could stop sending in papers to
journals and refuse to renew subscriptions to them in support of a plan to
create a huge Public Library of Science (Plos) on the internet. Texto completo en http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1296000/1296750.stm
