In the US, your taxes fund academic research at public universities. Why then do you need to pay expensive, for-profit journals for the results of that research?
Erica Stone advocates for a new, open-access relationship between the public and scholars, making the case that academics should publish in more accessible media.
”A functioning democracy requires that the public be well-educated and well-informed,” Stone says. ”Instead of research happening behind paywalls and bureaucracy, wouldn’t it be better if it was unfolding right in front of us?”
