@brembs@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org There are numerous stumbling blocks to work out: - How will publisher back catalogues be accessed? - How will funders enact this reform in fields and regions which they don't fund so have no sway over? - Will institutions and researchers acquiesce to funder diktats? - Big publishers may react by withdrawing cooperation: disallowing prior preprinting and self-archiving, withdrawing from free access schemes. System inertia may favour them.

Let 'em go bankrupt and use LOCKSS :-) / 2 > How will funders enact this reform in fields and regions which they don't fund so have no sway over? Osmosis into those fields from those where funders matter. > Will institutions and researchers acquiesce to funder diktats? Yes, because they want money. > Big publishers may react by withdrawing cooperation. Screw 'em.

@mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @mike@sauropods.win @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org - How will publisher back catalogues be accessed? What Mike said: http://blogarchive.brembs.net/comment-n835.html (From 2012!!) - How will funders enact this reform in fields and regions which they don't fund so have no sway over? You keep talking about funders. We are talking about all scholarly organizations.
