Open access and Gentle Science
Published scientific information โ largely supported by the society - should be accessible in general, without separation of privileged โrichโ institutions and limited access in underdeveloped countries. Open access and open-source initiatives should be supported in the spirit of Gentle Science.
Primary aims
- Summarize relevant information on the present state of discussion on 'open access publishing',
- Collect some critical reviews on these sources of information,
- Extend the discussion in the spirit of Gentle Science,
- Generate a comprehensive list on open access publication in mitochondrial physiology, if a conclusion is reached.
Some well-known facts
- Particularly young scientists may be forced to prioritize high-impact publication for securing progress in their career, which then places considerations on open access at a low rank.
- Some open access journals have higher publication fees compared to non-open access journals, to be covered by the authors. This leads to different ratings of 'open'.
- Some scientists complete and publish their theses (PhD and other), without ever facing in their education any discussion on 'open access publication'.
