27. The journals who charge out the ass for those articles pay NOTHING

Mon Jan 14, 2013, 10:51 PM

Jan 2013

they don't pay the salaries of the professors or researchers who do the work. they pay honorariums, if any, to the people who compose the "peers" who review.

they pay a little bit to editors (very little) and they charge libraries outrageous fees.

fuck the journals.

fuck google, too, for getting university libraries to scan books For FREE AND THEN CHARGE PEOPLE to access them.

Swartz was railroaded b/c some fat ass in a three piece suit wanted the JD to make a lesson out of him.
