Subject: [SOAF] Good news for OA from Nature

30 September 2004

Dear Open Access Friends,

Did you notice that Nature changed its argumentation against Open Access
(OA)?

While this unlikely indicates that all antiOA propagandists fully realized
the uselessness of OA disinformation based on such issues as the
impairment of peer-review, publication integrity and the publication cost
(compare with my counter argument one, two and three ; in free secured
access), the new argument is right at the Nature News of this week . I
interpret Nature language as follows: Open Access is no longer an
experiment, and represents a threat [not only to conventional publishing
business, but also] to [US] national security.

Good to know OA is that much powerful !

Watch latest Open Access News Blog summaries for hysteria by OA critics.

When there is no argument against OA the demagogy could be of help, I beg
OA enemies present tactics is. Can one call a disinfomation source or a
partizan a true opponent (sample one, two)? Especially when ones'
non-disclosed private interest is at stake?

Sincerely,

Alexei Koudinov, MD, PhD
