Åpen Vitenskap: Forlagsindustrien kritiserer plattformpublisering

English Translation (Google): Publishing industry criticizes platform publishing

"Suzanne Kavanagh skrev 20. juli en bloggpost med den høyaktuelle tittelen "From mandates to platforms: Have funders lost patience with Publishers?" Hun ramser opp flere preprint-plattformer og stiller det naturlige spørsmålet "So, what does this mean for traditional STM publishers? Can funder-and-institute owned-and-operated publishing platforms co-exist with the wider industry? Is it still “business as usual” along the Open Access road? Or, will the scholarly communications sector eventually be priced out?" Hennes svar er at dette ikke trenger å bli resultatet av flere grunner som for eksempel at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation har gjordt avtale med AAAS om å sampublisere i Sciencemag og skriver at dette vil fortsette. Så kan man spørre seg om Gates vil fornye avtalen etter noen år, og det tror jeg blir mer og mer usansynlig etter hvert som Gates Open Research arkivet får fotfeste."

Or will the scholarly communications sector eventually be priced out?" Her response is that this does not have to be the result for several reasons, for example, that Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has made an agreement with AAAS to co-publish in Sciencemag and writes that this will continue. Then you can ask if Gates will renew the agreement after a few years, And I think it's getting more and more unlikely as the Gates Open Research archive gets a foothold."
