The first suggestion to use OA/CC licensed works as the starting point has limited the available reivews. Turning to non-OA Journals, the second suggestion was to ask authors to release their pre-prints as CC'd works. Whether or not this is even possible has caused some discussion on the <a href="http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare_talk:Reviews">Reviews talk page</a>. I'm beginning to think that starting from scratch is the most straight forward option.</p> <br class="clear" /> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:12:27 -0400 Greg comment 3396 at http://www.nodalpoint.org http://www.nodalpoint.org/2007/03/07/wiki_reviews#comment-3389 <p>This is one of those simple, obvious yet brilliant ideas and the perfect example when you want to tell people about "overturning the publishing paradigm". Authors spend months compiling authoratative reference works, hundreds of pages and references and then - they're out of date as soon as they're published and languish in some journal archive, never to be read again. On the other hand, a reference work that you update continually - now that's a resource.</p> <br class="clear" /> Thu, 08 Mar 2007 06:45:39 -0500 Neil comment 3389 at http://www.nodalpoint.org
