<BODY>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>APWG: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yousey is not alone in her analysis. Anyone used to
be able to go to a good <EM>free</EM> library and access almost any journal,
scan the paper, and decide whether or not it was worth copying for use in
furthering research or improving the quality of public understanding through
competent reporting and other means. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Academics' and researchers' institutions pay dearly
for subscriptions to such journals, and the costs have grandly escalated in
recent years when, considering the increased efficiency of electronic
publication, the cost should have dropped. The reason it hasn't isn't very
complex; the publishers want to make more money, not less. The net effect is
that Ivory Towers have been constructed ever higher, and the moats around them
more crowded with crocodiles and other unpleasant obstacles to entry by the
unconnected rabble. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are some encouraging signs in the direction
toward Open Access and Open Discussion, but sentiments like Yousey's need to be
voiced more widely if they are ever to be nurtured and grow. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Untenured academics are in a difficult spot. They
dare not object (and why would they, as their institutions pay for "unlimited"
access), because they want tenure or other job security, and they think (with
good cause) that they must publish in "major" journals to advance their careers.
The academic system is rigid, and changes slowly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, the University of California Library, to
name one major institution, has recently voiced objections (2002?) to the
usury charges by the "clay-paper" journals-cum-on-line, and there have been some
rumblings about the generally low quality of research appearing in some of the
major journals. I believe these whistle-blowers have been silenced, however--at
least my recent enquiries to UC Library have gone unanswered. Follow the money?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is needed are on-line journals that are
sufficiently well-endowed and efficient to earn the respect of scientists and
scholars world-wide without charging exorbitant publication fees (independent
scholars, serious amateurs, and other "fans" of knowledge need not apply--they
can't even afford the cheapest on-line journals). Then, academics and scholars
need to shift their attention away from the traditional so-called "major"
journals, refusing to publish in them, and favoring Open Access as well as
freedom from publication charges (again, paid for by their institutions--and
taxpayers in the case of government-supported institutions). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Come to think of it, there's really no reason that
listservs couldn't serve as journals. The current "peer" review system has long
been a joke, with competing academics getting off on trashing their colleagues'
papers all too often rather than being open to new ideas. What would be wrong
with publication on-list and peer review being open to all "peers" and anyone
else who can offer reasoned criticism? At the very least, listservs could be
easily set up that specialized in "pre-publication" and "pre-review" by all
interested parties? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which system would be more effective and efficient
at advancing the cause of science and scholarship and opening up the Ivory
Towers to invading hordes of the likes of the self-educating
masses?*</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I respectfully submit this "pixel-paper" for your
pre-review. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>WT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>*True or untrue: It is common for academics and
other anointed elites to complain about the ignorant rabble? Perhaps the
complaint is well-justified. But is there any inconsistency when the rabble
request admission to the Gates of Knowledge and are denied? Yes or no?

size=2>> Hello, all, I have to agree with Wayne, I find it highly disturbing
that<BR>> 'this type of research' is screened by 'pay per view'. If I could
read it, I<BR>> could make a more intelligent comment, instead, I can only
make guesses<BR>> inspired by the characterization given in the abstract. I
don't wish to<BR>> imply that this is happening with this particular article,
but in the past,<BR>> I have read articles that downplay limited research
methods, conflicting<BR>> conclusions or both in the body of the article, and
then post conclusions in<BR>> the abstract based on limited evidence, much
like reporters do in the news<BR>> we read today. Corporate, government, and
university employees don't have<BR>> this type of access problem, at least
not with the journals subscribed to by<BR>> their boss, or boss's boss. In
this particular case, it would be helpful to<BR>> read the article and
perhaps it would stimulate a useful discussion. I<BR>> imagine that there are
several people on this list who study earthworms. It<BR>> also is a bit
disconcerting that the USDA opening in MS is juxtaposed. A<BR>> coincidence,
indeed, but what direction are we taking? The problem of<BR>> information
access, both too much and too little, and for who, is endemic in<BR>> our
e-world that we have created. Would it be possible for APWG to subscribe<BR>>
to and/or pay for a copy of the article, sort of like a library. Then if<BR>>
need be, we could pay $.05, instead of $50.00. With enough members
accessing<BR>> the article, it may even become a sustainable
solution. <BR>> <BR>> Kim Yousey<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>

<BR>> Bob and friends,<BR>> <BR>> Interesting, but I can't afford to
pay download fees for every article that<BR>> might be useful, especially in
excess of fifty bucks a clip. Nor can I<BR>> afford "membership" fees for all
the sites that, while perhaps delightful<BR>> individually, taken
collectively, add up to that "Giant Sucking Sound." <BR>> <BR>> However, I
do agree with your point "the futility of simply trying to<BR>> eradicate
certain invasive plants without understanding the underlying<BR>> factors
contributing to the invasion." When I have tried to raise this issue<BR>> at
other invasive-species sites, as well as their meetings and seminars, it<BR>>
was as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. It would be interesting to
know<BR>> how the majority and the leadership of APWG sees this issue . .
