Exploitation of scholarly
information based on
exclusivity
vs
collaboration on the public
domain –
the ecological center of the
“information environment.”
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose.

granting licences to publishers;

researchers who participate in a culture of sharing the
results of their research, in particular by ensuring open
access to their publications and by developing, encouraging
and using new, alternative models of career
assessment, metrics and indicators;
