One thing that he does not seem to be willing to consider is that the PubMed Central HTML versions (well, the "classic" flavor in my case) might actually be considered superior to the publishers' by readers.Naradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-43875914436514410212014-08-07T00:20:59.955-04:002014-08-07T00:20:59.955-04:00David: Thank you.

I asked for corrections, and I'm that you took the time to provide some.<br /><br />I freely admit I know his blogging at The Scholarly Kitchen, and not his record in publishing. I hoping to have another post focusing on his achievements more than his opinions.

But to be fair, there are some incorrect characterizations in your post.<br /><br />Looking at Kent's resumé, he has predominantly (exclusively?) worked in the not-for-profit world, whether for the Massachusetts Medical Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics or the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. So it's unfair to characterize his focus as being in the for-profit world.<br /><br />Similarly, describing him as someone not interested in innovative publishing displays a lack of knowledge about his activities. In the last year alone he's launched projects like PreScore and SocialCite.<br /><br />I don't always agree with Kent and frequently argue with him, but if you're going to criticize his track record, it's important to get the facts right.David Crottyhttp://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-90259970655553574222014-08-06T12:32:32.206-04:002014-08-06T12:32:32.206-04:00Increasingly, nominally not-for-profit scholarly s...Increasingly, nominally not-for-profit scholarly society publishing arms are acting more predatory and more money-grubbing than even the worst offenders of the for-profits. At least for-profit companies are explicitly about "shareholder value" as a primary goal whereas societies list furthering their science.<br />Am I surprised? No. Hey, maybe Science will try again to pull out of JSTOR.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104847732663970352noreply@blogger.com
