This is seriously the worry people have? Scribd hosts documents for free. Academia.edu hosts documents for free and in fact ENCOURAGES academics to post papers there. If a website is willing to host the papers for free versus having a system where we spend millions on research so that journals can put it behind their paywall I feel like the future has written itself already.
- pithon 14y agoFrom the petition: "Requiring the published results of taxpayer-funded research to be posted on the Internet" I'm just pointing out that requiring it to be posted on the internet requires someone to host it.
- CamperBob2 14y ago(Shrug) Any research worth paying for is going to cost a million times more than hosting the resulting documents. I don't follow you.
