Academics line up against each other in US OA battle
Mark Chillingworth
Universities in the US have become embroiled in a letter-writing war over a proposed public access research law.
The Oberlin Group of Liberal Arts College Libraries backs the law, but the DC Principals for Free Access to Science Coalition is worried it will damage scientific publishing.
"The free posting of unedited author manuscripts by government agencies threatens the integrity of the scientific record, potentially undermines the publisher peer-review process, and is not a smart use of funds that could be better used for research," the coalition wrote in a letter to Joseph Liebermann and John Cornyn, the senators behind the bill.
Senior academics from 10 US institutions signed the letter.
