The academic publishing rort - The Australia Institute

"The growing global frustration with academic publishers has spurred many governments into action. Australia has made a solid start, but the open access model proposed by Dr Foley could go further. If we want to dismantle the academic publishing model and stop for-profit publishing giants from profiting from public research, we need to stop relying on them as a way to assess academic merit and shift towards a system that values open science."
