[…] some fields have well-established taxonomies, others do not; even where those taxonomies exist, they may not be embedded in research workflow processes. And if the keywords list contains ‘mouse’ and ‘human’, how is one to know the subject of study? […]
[…] Furthermore, with toll access, authors are removed from the costs, and lack incentives to publish in modern journals with efficient workflows. In the words of Dr. Thomas Munro: “Paywalls raise costs, by allowing authors to externalize these ruinous costs to […]
