Comment Go Open Source (Score 3, Insightful) 213

Just as there is the Proprietary vs OS struggle in Software Engg., there is now a parallel in the field of scientific publishing.

Open Access Journals [http://www.doaj.org/] are all about free scientific information instead of billions charged by these greedy ba$tard$.

An article costs approx 10$ at publishers like elsevier/merck, which can, like, feed a whole family in my country for a full week!

And the most outrageous part is that sometimes that article would be the result from research funded by my taxmoney and my government while elsevier just earns off it for (virtually) nothing!

Die M$, Die Elsevier, Die Die

Jai Ho Open Source!
