stevenj writes “Librarians following the scholarly publishing crisis will want to read This Article from the June 26 issue of The NYT. It discusses how the high subscription cost of prestigious peer-reviewed journals has been a running sore point with scholars, whose tenure and prominence depend on publishing in them. But since the Public Library of Science, which was started by a group of prominent scientists, began publishing last year, this new model has been gaining attention and currency within academia. If you haven’t been following this issue, this article will pretty much sum it up for you.”
