I thought colleagues might be interested in this comment from Cambridge chemist and Open Science advocate Peter Murray-Rust, from a blog post that came out yesterday:
"Wikipedia and Mozilla (and others) have shown that concerned citizens can create massive value, which, being Open is at a high level of Truth. [...] Wikipedia is already the best scholarly publishing system in C21[.]" http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2013/12/06/can-we-trust-commercial-publishers-or-are-we-moving-to-1984-like-publishers-of-truth-we-must-act-now/ Good to see yet another bold advocate within academia. I'm in contact with Peter as part of my Jisc project. -- Dr Martin L Poulter Jisc Wikimedia Ambassador, July 2013 - March 2014 Wikipedia contributor http://enwp.org/User:MartinPoulter Volunteer, Wikimedia UK http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MartinPoulter<http://uk.wikimedia.org/> Musician http://soundcloud.com/martin-poulter http://myspace.com/comapilot Person http://infobomb.org/
