Traditional Media Figures Out that Sci-Tech Publishing Is Threatened
September 8, 2008
But do the sci-tech publishers know what’s happening? Navigate to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26512717/ and read “Era of Scientific Secrecy Ends.” The article, written by Robin Lloyd, provides a round up of information changes that will roil the world of sci-tech publishing. Ms. Lloyd does not focus on publishing, but her analysis makes clear that “open science” will bring further changes of sci-tech information access. What’s amazing is that this article comes from two companies struggling to keep pace with similar changes. When I read this good article, I thought of the captain and his officers on the Titanic when the ship was sinking. Insight came too late.
