[open-science] Mike Eisen responds to NYT's anti-open-access story

[Jonathan Dugan]

:: 'suggesting, as the article does, that scam conferences/journals
exist because of the rise of open access publishing is ridiculous.'

and

:: 'if Gina Kolata and the NYT are really concerned about scams in
science publishing, they should look into the $10 BILLION DOLLARS of
largely public money that subscription publishers take in every year
in return for giving the scientific community access to the 90% of
papers that are not published in open access journals'
