Relating to Mars Express: "At the same time, ESA’s Mars Express mission is continuing its investigations of Mars, painting a new picture of the 'red planet'. This includes the first ever probing below the surface of Mars, new geological clues with implications for the climate, newly-discovered surface and atmospheric features and, above all, traces of the presence of water on this world." |

I was going to defend Nature's charging to view exclusive reports and data, but why do they charge, exactly? Is it because they provide a service by filtering out the 'bad' reports and data? Or is it just that magazines like Nature are obsolete in today's widely Internet-enabled world? Why don't these science teams just self-publish the data on some website they control?

QUOTE (mike @ Nov 30 2005, 09:22 PM) The model for web published and properly peer reviewed publication is really only getting on its feet as far as I can see. And to be fair to all concerned it must be accepted that getting a paper published in Nature is worth a lot more to the scientists and institutions than having one published by UMSF (for example) or simply posted on their own website. Efforts like marsjournal.org show that steps are being made in the right direction and hopefully they are pointing the way towards a much better model that publications like Nature can follow. I would like to see changes that made public, online and searchable archival of such scientific papers mandatory. I'd be interested in what any of the professional scientists here think. |
