Yeah, it’s strange to butter ACM that have been total jerks until last week, and would not have done anything if not for the pandemia (and will resume their behavior afterwards). Sci-hub on the contrary have provided a free service for years, more reliable technically and content-wise than any library service at any research institution I worked. They are the real heroes.
- anonymousDan 7y agoWhile I would agree in the case of other commercial publishers, at the end of the day the ACM is a nonprofit owned by its members that invests back into the community. I don't think 100 dollars a year is excessive for what it provides.
- pridkett 7y agoThat $100 a year is a solid value to support the profession - especially if you take advantage of the Safari membership. Heck, just being able to point people, both executives and new hires, to the code of ethics has saved me several times. But, the digital library costs extra.
- anonymousDan 7y agoMy bad, 200 all in. Your point about the code of ethics is intriguing! Do you point them to the code of ethics before or after the fact? Or to push back against someone trying to get you to do something unethical?
