[Fis] Scientific Communication and Publishing

[Moisés André Nisenbaum]

Dear Mark.

Thank you for the excelent video and article. It is very important to
discuss this and, if you agree, I will use your video with my students
(can you send me the transcription?).
No doubt we are in a changing world and we have to fight against
abusive processes, like publication industry.

In Rafael's article, the question “what is a scientific journal in the
digital age?” I understand that we must think outside the box. I think
it would be great if some group invent a kind of "Uber" of scientific
production. Something that connect directly authors and readers at
feasible rates.  arXiv does this connection in some way, but it is not
universal. E-science is also a good initiative.

Related to this discussion, UNESCO will do an event on Wednesday
(sep/28th) at Museu do Amanhã (Rio de Janeiro) called International
Day for Universal Access to Information
(http://en.unesco.org/iduai2016).

But the fact is: we are human and the worry about "reputation" is the
real reason of today's organization of scientific communication (about
this, this book chapter is very good: VAN RAAN, Anthony FJ. The
interdisciplinary nature of science: theoretical framework and
bibliometric-empirical approach. Practising interdisciplinarity, p.
66-78, 2000.)

Kind regards,

Moisés
