Imagine a universal API for public research at every stage of the lifecycle, for authors, for data sets, for grants + grant-makerpic.twitter.com/St2i313Qas
This is well within the bounds of our technical ability, and there's surely demand for it — but I don't see any way for this to happen while research orgs are making deals that make public research the defensible intellectual property of private companies
On this point, it's not the research that's the intellectual property of Elsevier, it's the published article in which the research is described. OA business at Elsevier grew 25% last year, so the world we both want is coming.
Guess who is responsible for the growing influx of VC into the formerly sleepy sector? It's the commercial publishers, as they transition to information & analytics businesses, making acquisitions of startups & giving VCs a reason to invest.
Glad to see you engaging with this topic. A few things to note: the dispute isn't about open access - Elsevier would be happy to publish 100% of UC content OA - it's about how to pay for it, what payment model to use.
I believe that research that is funded by the public should be placed in the public domain. If Elsevier wants to curate & bundle it from there, finding a workable business model is its business.
