    Mayer: research is the result of public investment; maximizing return on that investment is paramount #ape2013

    Mayer at #ape2013 is not sure if he's in a lions cage or in a circle of friends. #leibniz #publishing

    Mayer is disturbed that most recent scientific frauds not detected by our expensive peer review system #ape2013

    My favorite dysfunction of the current system from Mayer's list : "counting publications instead of reading them" #ape2013

    The moment when U. Meyer enters the lions cage : "do we need publishers ?" #ape2013

    It seems to me that the real question is not "Do we need publishers?" but "How can we maximize publishers cost-effectiveness?" #ape2013

    #ape2013 Dame Janet Finch: UK Learned societies use much of publication income for other activities. More than other European countries.

    #ape2013 Dame Janet Finch: Worldwide, 6% have UK authors. Remit is to make *all* research available, so cannot just think of UK.

    Finch assumes that the only OA business model is APC author-pays model. It's where the problems begin #ape2013

    finch doesn't want to set APC's, but assigns 58mL for apc's. With ~80k UK articles p.a. this works out at ~$ 1.100 per article. #ape2013
