Hey look, @cobismith's going to boycott the PUS journal to stand up for Open Access in Sci Comm research bit.ly/HVk0IQ #pcst2012
You're welcome :) RT @openscience: Thanks for storify of yesterday's #PCST2012 #openaccess outrage sfy.co/pM9 #openscience #scio13
It's the revolt of the social media crowd RT @danhooker: ... controversy about science communication ... at #pcst2012 pcst2012.org
well, at least one #openaccess PCST journal exists... :) jcom.sissa.it #pcst2012 @alicebell @cobismith @angelasimone @willozap
#pcst2012 @alicebell next question should be: how many people in this room have free access to the PUS journal?
@valenitna ok, but in 2012, if your topics are science&society and public communication, you must be an innovator! #pcst2012- Editor says PUS isn't open access because it'd penalize those from developing countries - invites @wellcometrust to pay for those papers ;)
- @angelasimone it would be a first step to have at least a blog for free short communication to be up to date. #pcst2012
“@cobismith: Go @alicebell calling Public Understanding of Science a pale tired journal & angrily asking why it's not open access!#pcst2012- Totally agree. I have just written about that RT@edbeltane: @alicebell thanks for naming the elephant in the room #pcst2012
Go @alicebell insisting that panel addresses how paywalled, academic PCST journals could engage practitioners and publics better #pcst2012
