que paye-on?

What do we pay for?

How on earth is it possible to discuss economic
models, today !
Discussing economic models means we know which
types of product we are talking about
This is, sensu stricto, a conservative approach. But
articles are no longer articles, and journals are no
longer journals
So what are they, or rather what are they becoming?

Will subscriptions to journals disappear?
Should the money saved just help pay APC (OA2020)?
To get “paper like” articles in journals “à l’ancienne”?
I.e. in fact changing almost nothing…
Discussing “open access” in such a narrow minded way is
not “going digital”, it is just “going on line” one tiny step
further
It is not a pathway to open science, it is just braying like a
donkey “gold is the winner, green is the loser”. Or the
reverse. In a silly race

And there is no such an absurd race
—
During the six talks of a workshop held at the CNRS
last November titled “Nouveaux modes de
communication scientifique”, neither green or gold have
been pronounced; well… actually yes, by me, but to
speak out against this pointless opposition

A conservative approach to
scholarly publishing?
Stolen from Laurent:
Registration
Dissemination
Peer review
Archival record
The issue is not open access
—
It is going digital for good
— And in the digital world, in the Internet age, there is no
need to build barriers, which is costly. (Unless the sole
aim is to make money.)

Does this mean we should get rid of publishers?
—
Should we?

Should we get rid of publishers
altogether?

But what does “publisher” mean today?
We use this word by intellectual laziness
Indeed, the six talks have reported initiatives stemming
almost exclusively from Academia. Et après?
Does this mean academia will never outsource anything?
Why should it be so?
Academia has the duty to regain control of its
production
But the best service provision should be used

As a sort of conclusion
If indeed less is spent on subscriptions:
—We should use the money saved to foster innovation,
and not to keep on locking the academic communication
system in the 20th Century
—And when fostering innovation, a prospective thought,
yes we should indeed include the economic model…
Because innovation without an economic model is just
an invention
—And secure infrastructures
