Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The Intransigenc of STM Publisher
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 01 Jan '15

Dear Moderator: I wish all LIS professional friends "A Happy and Proseperous NEW YEAR" Kindly post this: Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The Intransigenc of STM Publisher A few commercial publishers dominate provision of access to scientific and technical information sought after by researchers around the world. Increasing subscription prices of journals at rates higher than general inflation caused librarians to think of forming consortia, but publishers started selling online journals as bundles, and libraries ended up with many journals their researchers have very little use for. Scientists and librarians adopted open access, but publishers came up with hybrid journals and article processing charges to beat any adverse effect on their profits caused by the fast-spreading open access movement. We compare the steps taken by scientists and librarians in the West to reclaim ease of access to research findings with what is happening in India. We end with a few suggestions. full text article - http://insa.nic.in/writereaddata/UpLoadedFiles/PINSA/Vol80_2014_5_Art03.pdf Regards Siva IIT HLibrary 99080 35478 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
