It is ridiculous that scientific research, mostly entirely funded with taxpayer's money ends up in journals which require us to pay their publishers a second time to access the knowledge.<br /><br />As you point out, mandatory Open Access policies see more and more adoption. The share of Open Access publishing is rising [1]:<br /><br />"Since the year 2000, the average annual growth rate has been 18% for the number of journals and 30% for the number of articles. This can be contrasted to the reported 3,5% yearly volume increase in journal publishing in general. In 2009 the share of articles in OA journals, of all peer reviewed journal articles, reached 7,7%. Overall, the results document a rapid growth in OA journal publishing over the last fifteen years."<br /><br />Yet I think more should and could be done to stimulate Open Access. Governments finance science and could impose tougher requirements for Open Access on universities and such. I wonder if Will Schroeder gave some thoughts on how to solve the problem?<br /><br />[1] http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0020961Alexander van Loonhttp://alexandervanloon.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-9687419654944354242012-07-02T23:46:23.234+02:002012-07-02T23:46:23.234+02:00A PhD student here.

Non-availability of equipment is one thing (eg: not everyone has access to LHC :P). But for computational experiments, non-availability of source code for many papers and lack of info about the system/software config is not excusable.rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948740113975278724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-57854758055488148672012-07-01T18:30:56.539+02:002012-07-01T18:30:56.539+02:00This is the path competition seems to lead, first ...This is the path competition seems to lead, first the increase of efforts followed by shortcuts and lost of focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-87533620659153634102012-07-01T16:47:48.324+02:002012-07-01T16:47:48.324+02:00Yup.
