Nature dissed PLoS, Comments on Competition and Peer-Review

July 6, 2008 | Open Access | obst | 2,434 Aufrufe

Mittwoch publizierte der renommierte NatureNews-Redakteur Declan Butler eine – allgemein als nasty bezeichneten – Artikel über PLoS: PLoS stays afloat with bulk publishing: Science-publishing firm struggles to make ends meet with open-access model. Die Kommentare dort sind mehr oder weniger einhellig der Ansicht, dass Nature einen Wettbewerber “gedisst” hätte. Stellvertretend hier zwei Kommentare:

I think that PLOS should be ecstatic about this attack piece. The fact that Nature has unleashed one of its in-house rottweilers to spread scorn and innuendo suggests that PLOS is actually beginning to worry the powers-that-be at NPG. [Michael Fainzilber]
I think Declan Butler’s piece is aimed more at open access in general. I’m not so sure that NPG is all that worried about PLOS. I think it’s more like NPG sees itself as practicing for a little dance on the grave of open access. [Bernie Sloan]
