RE: The War on Open Science: Scientific Journals and the Research Racket
One should question the motive of keeping information behind a lock and key, even if it is accessible through payment. Especially if it's accessible through payment.
Thank you for raising awareness on this idea. You've put a lot into this article and it really shows.
You got it right. "Information wants to be free" the mantra begun in the 60's that technology could be liberating is finally getting it's real chance with advanced crypto and blockchain. I hope I live to see it come to fruition that anybody wanting to be taken seriously can't steel their material away behind a paywall.
I think that at the rate of advancing technologies and innovations, it is highly likely that I will see it in my life as I am just under 30 years old. I have a good 60 years of life left. The amount of advances made in the past 200 years compared to the past 2000 is phenomenal and only continues to increase in speed.
Imagine how much farther we would be should information never have been held behind a lock and key!
Exactly. Thank you:)
