[Fis] Scientific Communication and Publishing

[Rafael Capurro]

Dear Mark,

thanks for your inspiring and indeed provocative presentation.
Just some few remarks/questions about:
1) was it since the 16th and 17th century also a nationalistic issue 
when claiming who was the first one to have done a 'discovery' and is it 
in a different way still today? Do you know of any analysis on this?
2) You describe the changes of _scientific_ publication and particularly 
the issue of journals that have to do with the shorter time of 
'discoveries' (journals=jours=days) with the rise of modern empirical 
science. Where is the difference with regard to the humanities and 
literature? The role of copyright (including patents) is, as you know, 
changing and you point to this indirectly at the end of your video 
presentation which I very much share. But the economic (and national?) 
power of big players is still there, creating scarcity in a time of 
(potential) digital abundance of 'information'
3) A few months ago I wrote a paper (in Spanish) on: "What is a 
scientific journal?" with similar insights to the ones you present
