Arguments for Open Access: author-pays model
More aligned with academic philosophy.
The money barrier is preventing access for libraries, people around the world, furthering academic research.
Arguments against reform/open access: pay-for-access model
Open access just changes the pathway of monetary flow and does not solve the problems.
BioMedCentral's case: Though the technology for open source works, the business model is not tenable. Libraries end up paying much more for membership (~30K in 2007)than a journal subscription.
The pay-for-access model is required to upkeep more most intensive services like peer, review, editing and indexing,
Partnership for Research Integrity in Science and Medicine (PRISM) and Association of American Publishers (AAP) often lobby against the open access model.
Lots of questions about quality and sustainability about open access models.
"taxes are generally not paid so that taxpayers can access research results, but rather so that society can benefit from the results of that research; in the form of new medical treatments, for example. Publishers claim that 90% of potential readers can access 90% of all available content through national or research libraries, and while this may not be as easy as accessing an article online directly it is certainly possible." | Worlock, Kate (2004). "The Pros and Cons of Open Access". Nature Focus. Nature Publishing Group. Retrieved 2011-07-28.
Other governments around the world fund R&D much differently than the US.
Since open access journals have a low barrier to create, it is easy to create predatory open access publishing websites.

The Problem:
Summary:
idea.io is nested DAO that allows for the exploration of ideas and knowledge and its dissemination. 9/1/2021
The business case is the citation system and having reputation and incentives be brought to the global scale and have the language around the generation of ideas be more intelligible and commonplace. Right now the system is pretty incestuous. Businesses don't have to cite their sources. In fact no one really does. People just happen to create stories that are sellable. What do you owe your sources? Reputation %? People that are part of the results. Soo how does one create a system where people would want to cite their sources. There will people that will be both good and terrible at citing sources. The idea is that hopefully it will become pretty apparent what idea/concept chains people think are thinking/think they are thinking.
How would you incentivise people to cite other people if that cuts into their own?
The network effects have to make it wothwhile.
"For public knowledge, use public infrastructure."
A/B Testing:
Use DAO to crowdfund to buy Elselvier $9.8B and Wiley and Springer Nature $1.7B
Then port over people from Nature and all of their journals, have them do the same thing, except the reviewers get paid and reputation.

Third Meditation passage
..an idea is “the form of any given thought, immediate perception of which makes me aware of the thought”
In his reply to Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), author of the Third Set of Objections, Descartes says that an idea is “whatever is immediately perceived by the mind”

Foreseeable Problems:
People will create a lot of ideas that may not be actionable how does one filter out the useful vs. needs more evidence.
The level of discourse will lead to a lot more ideas being generated than people will know what to do with.
This may accelerate the disrupting, disrupting, disruptors syndrome where nothing actually gets done.
This can be managed by....

Meaning is generally created by how we carry ourselves and affect those around us. If a person knows how little they can affect the people around them physically, mentally, and most likely even spiritually, this may cause problems.

As research expands, the financial structure around it has to expand exponentially --> the power that these structures have at the moment. Not that publishers and funders are evil or ignorant. There is a self limiting process like any ecosystem (ie. predator vs. prey). However, since the middlemen have grown so big monetarily in the current economic climate, and a culture has been build around the ethos of the middlemen, the researchers and the world suffer.

What do you want to communicate?
Knowledge is relative. Even if there is an absolute, the process of treating it like it's relative proves to be more productive. When executing on ideas it is important to commit like it is truth to provide a valid data point. Each generation hopefully adds a verse to the song of human history where our metaphors, ideas, and tools improve where the the proper references are made to the history such that we can create better tools while creating deeper meanings.
We progress knowledge by asking better questions, and frequent discourse with increasing capacity/skill and wisdom in managing discourse.
We become wiser by how we handle and evolve the process of discourse.
The nature of things seem to be some essence of thematically interconnected paradoxes.
Meaning is more often created than found let alone given.
This can be a very harrowing experience.
The conversation movers can come from anywhere. The lawnmower or professor however, the platforms we currently have seem to miss out on a lot of potential.

Status Quo:
Scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet: labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places.

NIH pushing for more Open Access, which is great for the 3rd World/Developing nations, but bad for Professional Societies like IEEE.
NGO's ie. IEEE made money via membership subscriptions sales of publications to companies.
For profit companies will get their money one way or another.
NGO's are very useful:
Forums, timely news etc.
Papers published through Publishers are read much more --> citations which dictate promotions/hiring etc.
Access Fees and Paywalls are problematic.

In an environment of DAO's, they can collect their fees, but what would limit their growth?
