Taxacom: open access journals

Tue Aug 1 17:42:21 CDT 2023

The older style pre electronic form of journals though having their
disadvantages had a number of advantages also, library funding being a big
one. Also speed was more realistic for everyone, including reviewers. I
think the problem has been in part that with the electronic age a suitable
replacement that is fair to science is yet to be found. All current methods
currently employed have their problems, can be circumvented and in the end
permit poor quality science to be published on par with good science.
People assume good faith on the part of journals as this has always been
the case, but in the modern publishing world there is no good faith. Rather
than metrics based on distribution, reads and money, I would rather see
metrics based on quality, review etc.

I do not think there are easy answers here.

Cheers Scott
