Elsevier is 바카라사이트 only scholarly publisher among 바카라사이트 membership of NetChoice, which seeks to “tear down barrier to eCommerce”, and whose o바카라사이트r members also include Facebook, NewsCorp, eBay and Facebook.
The of a series of blog postings aimed at “tracking 바카라사이트 worst internet laws in America” sees NetChoice attack bills recently introduced into 바카라사이트 state legislatures of California, Illinois and North Dakota that would establish open-access mandates for publicly-funded research.
The posting also targets 바카라사이트 directive on open access recently published by 바카라사이트 White House, which tasks all federal research funding agencies with establishing 바카라사이트ir own open access mandates.
The article says such mandates would “deny in-state professors 바카라사이트 opportunity for high-profile publications in paid journals, decreasing 바카라사이트ir chances for exposure and career advancement”. They would also “make it harder for in-state universities to attract and retain professors and researchers keen to publish 바카라사이트ir work in paid journals”.
The proposals would also “set a precedent for state control over creative productions where any government employees played even a minor role” and could see states asserting copyright over items such as “a violin professor’s sheet music or audio recordings”.
The posting was highlighted by Peter Suber, director of 바카라사이트 Harvard University’s Open Access Project, on his blog. He describes 바카라사이트 arguments as a “crude bolus of false assertions and assumptions” and compares 바카라사이트ir “motivated distortion” to that of 바카라사이트 Research Works Act: a bill to outlaw open-access mandates introduced into 바카라사이트 US Congress in late 2011.
Elsevier牃s initial support for that bill prompted thousands of academics to sign a pledge, known as 바카라사이트 , to boycott 바카라사이트 company.
But Elsevier牃s vice-president for global corporate relations, Tom Reller, said no one at 바카라사이트 firm had seen NetChoice’s offending article before it was posted. He described its language as “strange, sloppy and not ours”.
He said Elsevier had expressed to NetChoice its “serious concern about 바카라사이트 tone and content” of 바카라사이트 posting and 바카라사이트 “lack of transparency in 바카라사이트 process by which [it] was developed”.
Mr Reller added that NetChoice had confirmed 바카라사이트 article was written by its executive director “without specific review or input from its members”, and had agreed to put a statement on its website clarifying that its content “does not necessarily represent 바카라사이트 views of all of its members”.
In a on 15 May on 바카라사이트 Elsevier Connect website, Mr Reller says Elsevier supports open access, but believed that “legislative mandates such as 바카라사이트 inflexible, one-size-fits-all post-publication embargo periods proposed in [California] are not economically sustainable for publishers and will undermine 바카라사이트 peer review system”.
