  1. @jbrittholbrook Although I will say OA does provide more opps for more people to render abstruse research intelligible thru hard work
  2. @jbrittholbrook It's a different part of the process. Mass public engagement on government site not the place for education about subtleties
  3. @F1000 @Thejournalofmed Most major funders, and all large UK funders have made pub charges an allowable cost on grants for several years now
  4. @sjepstein That's fair. It's just often advanced to me as a reason why we can't do anything so I tend to react against it :-)
  5. @sjepstein There's something really worrying about a world in which we say "We can't do better on schol comms because it won't fit on a CV"
  6. @sjepstein They might actually have to judge quality of the work! Terrible thing I know. But srsly we've let CV issues drive this too long
  7. Wikimedia Foundation endorses mandates for free access to publicly funded rsrch blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/25/wik… #OAMonday Sign at: wh.gov/6TH
  8. @ToriHerridge I have trenchant and unpopular opinions on that one but here's something interesting... plus.google.com/u/1/1099255239…
  9. @sjepstein But bottom line yes, I'd really like to see an environment in which there was much more experimentation than there is at moment
  10. @sjepstein Why not strip out entirely separtly. Offer a review/validation service. Maybe I want PLoS Biol peer review but BMC dissemination?
  11. @sjepstein Sure, but I would argue for disaggregating costs anyway. Then we get a proper market. Pay for validation & dissemination separtly
  12. @sjepstein That's fair - its not a simple proposition I imagine. And quite a big jump to think about.
  13. @ToriHerridge Oh sorry, yes if its a cite to a paper where you got data then that is fine. Problem comes if its "just" a dataset @rmounce
  14. @ToriHerridge So you can provide a link but it doesn't really help anyone very much. @rmounce
  15. @ToriHerridge Because those citations/links don't get counted in our standard systems. Ideally would contrib to std cite counts @rmounce
  16. @rmounce Its something we need to get changed. It's on the list! But then need aggregators to handle data citations correctly @ToriHerridge
  17. @ToriHerridge And related, what is the responsibility going forward to ensure new data collections can more easily be re-used? #OADebate
  18. .@irenehames @Villavelius Yes, should be more explicit. Use submission fees to cover the full cost of publication. No-one doing that yet?
  19. .@sjepstein Interested to know how it went down. Mostly I've heard fear of failure. But people forget that APCs were a leap of faith for BMC
