1. @mbeisen @BoraZ @phylogenomics copouts can be useful though eg for PhDs who may have less control over where their papers go.
  2. @ReedRoberts @mbeisen @boraz well going forward sure #1 is the way ... But people are posting past pubs and that is a good thing too
  3. @mbeisen @reedroberts @boraz yes of course ... But they didn't ... And posting those papers is a useful thing
  4. @mbeisen @BoraZ @phylogenomics taking the green road is a (hopefully not pepper spray wielding) cop out?
  5. @mrgunn @BoraZ @phylogenomics it's a copout because it allows one to have cake and eat it too while doing nothing to fix system
  6. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz agree ... Lame in past .. Lamer in future .. But still want the PDFs from past posted ...
  7. @mbeisen @BoraZ @phylogenomics I wish everyone would stop putting work behind paywalls immediately, but green is a good transitional option.
  8. .@phylogenomics @mrgunn @BoraZ it's not that complicated, post old PDFs on your website and publish only in real #OA journals from now on
  9. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz not full #OpenAccess is a copout; was mostly writing this for people who have papers & didn't know where to post
  10. @mrgunn @BoraZ @phylogenomics no it's not - it defuses the push to change how things work
  11. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz posting on your website isn't ideal .. Many don't get found easily ... I went back & submitted old pubs to PMC
  12. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz and posting at mendeley and slideshare and Figshare increases reach too
  13. @phylogenomics @mrgunn @BoraZ yes, but it is not legal, and the second it starts to impact subscriptions, it will be challenged
  14. @mbeisen @phylogenomics @BoraZ ideally part past stuff in a repository, full OA henceforth. I wouldn't advocate green for anything but past
  15. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz they won't take some of mine if I tell truth .. But all you need is an NIH grant ID to get in (if a research pub)
  16. @mrgunn @phylogenomics @BoraZ but note that it is illegal take PDF from many journals and post to your own site or archive
  17. @mbeisen @mrgunn @boraz maybe illegal in cases - but if everyone did it would get papers out there & be pain in closed access journals side
