Very interesting piece on Eve's blog:
"...I have come to think that the green/gold debate is in fact a distraction
from dealing with more insidious issues in our research publishing
systems.
These include the dominance of journals at the expense of other forms of publication; the almost universal adoption of the ISI and its Impact Factor as the basis for recognition and reward; and, most
insidious of all, the marginalization of great swathes of global
research through the implementation of this commercialized ranking
system...." (Eve Gray)
Eve will moderate the session on OA and Improving Assessment of Research and Scholarly Publication at the Berlin 10 Conference in November in Stellenbosch (Roelien, Ujula, Debbie & Eileen will be attending this).
