Re: [Bcoel] Interesting article: Beall's list no more

Good heavens - is he serious! http://triplec.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/525/514 "The open-access movement is a negative movement rather than a positive one. It is more a movement against something than it is a movement for something. Some will respond that the movement is not against anything; it is just for open access. But a close analysis of the discourse of the OA advocates reveals that the real goal of the open access movement is to kill off the for-profit publishers and make scholarly publishing a cooperative and socialistic enterprise. It's a negative movement." And it's published in an open access journal ...?????
