Researchers! Stop doing free work for non-open journals!

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"If you are a researcher and don’t like the stranglehold that commercial publishers have on our work — if you object to the fact that much of your institution’s funds goes to pay these unappointed gatekeepers for subscriptions, rather than on funding research — if you agree that work funded by your government should be freely available to citizens — then please join me in refusing to review for non-open journals. It’s the right thing to do...."
