[9fans] octopus paper

[Francisco J Ballesteros]

Given the lag in publication, this system is no longer under development
(though we are still using it), but here's a paper about the Octopus.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016412121200043X

I post it here because it's related to Plan 9.

It asks me for $31.50 to download the paper.

WoW! I hate them.
It seems my university is subscribed and I could browse it freely…
I'll talk to you off list.

The next time I visit London will include a walking tour of the
place that started all of this mess.  Sadly, I think the price
to join the information club has been increasing.

Here at CNRS, you are starting to struggle against this crazy system:

  1) we pay to submit papers
  2) we pay to read papers from others
  3) we have to pay more if we want our papers to be freely accessible
  4) we are not paid for peer review

4 times a shame, at least.

Unless Elsevier is even more evil that I thought, Nemo should still be
able to post a PDF on lsub.org. Now, if they're really evil, they got
exclusive rights...

I'm trying to clear that out, we'll see.

Tread carefully.

A recent copyright case did not go well for the author of a paper.

Yes, this is point 5) I forgot.  Once your paper is submitted and if you
want to publish it via any other fees-less channel, say, this list, I
think you need to slightly modifidy your paper.  Basically, you give
your rights to the publishor/editor on the paper you submitted.  We
could state that they now own about ~95% of human knowledge, published
in the form of specific papers.  Somehow, this is scaring.

Ok. They said explicitly that I can post pre-prints of the paper at web sites.

If only the result of such a system would be papers worth reading...

Hey Francisco,

First, I really like the ideas in Octopus. I think it was extremely
well-considered, and worth reviewing as people reconsider where and
how money is allocated in the various cloud-based infrastructure
subsystems, and how much or how little it affects the net effect.

Would you say it's more in "maintenance mode" or are you already
considering the subsequent cephalopod? :)

I have plans for something related to it in the future, but nix goes before that
and it will still take a long time to get there.
So, for me, it's just the system I use for development (working on nix, mostly).
