Writing about the Recommended Practices for Improved Access to Institutionally-Provided Information Resources draft document (41 page PDF) (referred to as RA21), drafted by a committee of mostly publishers and scientific organizations, Eric Hellman concludes, "RA21 received 120 mostly critical reviews from a cross-section of referees, not a single one of whom is the least bit an idiot. Roughly half the issues fell into the badly-explained category, while the other half fell in the 'fundamental flaws and careless errors' category. RA21 needs to go back to the chalkboard and rethink even their starting assumptions before they can move forward with this much-needed effort."
