Good article on scholarly publishing that captures the author's astonishment (and my astonishment) that academics continue to submit articles to traditional journals. "The vast majority of faculty members continue to sign over copyright in order to disseminate their scholarly work through traditional publishing models with little regard for ownership issues and subscription fees. Nothing much of course is going to change as long as academic excellence is measured in tonnage weighted by rankings on the appropriate citation index."
