I'm intriguied. Can you say more? Whose theory of information, for instance, are you suggesting will reframe this argument? Shannon's? Someone else's?
Thanks for sharing news of UCSF's new open access policy. Fantastic news indeed. Still, there's this bit:
"Hurdles do remain, Schneider noted. One will be convincing commercial publishers to modify their exclusive publication contracts to accommodate such a policy. Some publishers already have demonstrated their willingness to do so, he said, but others, especially premier journals, have been less inclined to allow the system to change."
How I wish implementing an open access policy were as easy as throwing a switch and unlocking scores of manuscripts! But these things take time. I like the way the wind is blowing.
Thanks very much for reading.
