Biomed-Central-Autoren über Open Access
Biomed Central ist wissenschaftlicher Zeitschriftenverlag aus Großbritannien, der inzwischen über 200 Open-Access-Zeitschriften herausgibt. In einem kurzen Video-Clip sind Statements verschiedener Biomed-Central-Autoren und -Herausgeber zu Open Access gesammelt.
Einer der Interviewten, Chris McManus vom University College London, zu den Vorteilen von Open Access:
I think it was Oscar Wilde who said something like “the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about is not being talked about”. Scientists want to be talked about. They want their ideas to be talked about by other scientists, other people. And open access promotes that. Why should you publish something really interesting and hide it away, so nobody can see it? Doesn’t seem any point in it.
