I agree completely, and I've modified the wording so that it doesn't suggest Gold OA specifically.David Ketchesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356196845031385491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660225022390848760.post-22436449348868987842012-08-02T18:37:14.723+03:002012-08-02T18:37:14.723+03:00OA ≠ GOLD OA PUBLISHING
Bravo Dave, you are spot-...OA ≠ GOLD OA PUBLISHING<br /><br />Bravo Dave, you are spot-on with everything (including your assessment of Gold vs. Green OA). <br /><br />But could I suggest that your first moral imperative be called "making your publication open access" rather than "open access publishing" because it's a sure as that night follows day that it you call it "open access publishing" then it will be assumed that what you mean is Gold OA, not Green OA.<br /><br />Publishing is publishing, and open access to publishing is open access to publishing. Green and Gold are the way to provide OA, one of them at no extra cost at all, while subscriptions are still paying for publication, the other at considerable extra cost.<br /><br />"Hybrid-Gold" subscription journals that offer the Gold OA as an extra feature to pay for, as in buying a car, are the most straightforward example of the absurdity of paying pre-emptively for Gold OA instead of providing Green OA for free.<br /><br />ThiStevan Harnadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374474060972737847noreply@blogger.com
