It's the scientific publishers who should pay, just like scientific research organizations pay for research (see this blog post of mine: http://www.frank-m-richter.de/freescienceblog/2013/02/14/science-publication-should-be-seen-as-a-public-service-just-like-science-itself/)Martin Haspelmathhttp://www.eva.mpg.de/linguistics/staff/martin-haspelmath/index.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-62818586898809333782015-04-07T08:08:50.674-04:002015-04-07T08:08:50.674-04:00I really enjoyed this, but I cringed a bit at &quo...I really enjoyed this, but I cringed a bit at "Science journalists who have any baseline competence should understand scientific publishing enough to realize that not every research article in every scientific journal is true".
