Univ. of California Faculty May Boycott Nature Publisher
Marian the Librarian writes "Nature Publishing Group (NPG), which publishes the prestigious journal Nature along with 67 affiliated journals, has proposed a 400% increase in the price of its license to the University of California. UC is poised to just say no to exorbitant price gouging. If UC walks, the faculty are willing to stage a boycott; they could, potentially, decline to submit papers to NPG journals, decline to review for them and resign from their editorial boards."
Well, that makes a HUGE difference. I'd run like hell from a 400% price increase, but a 300% price increase seems fair and equitable to me.
Sure. And as long as the conclusion is the same there's no reason to get the facts right, eh?
And when an error is repeated enough, it's no longer an error and becomes correct.
Which, for all intensive purposes, begs the question of weather we can take this for granite. Or maybe that's a mute point.
