[Oa-italia] Sulle spese per APC

[Stella]

Interessante messaggio che arriva molto a proposito mentre a tutti i
livelli si vuol far dimenticare cosa l'OA realmente sia e usarlo per
foraggiare gli editori, dopo i tagli al settore pubblico, quindi il calo
degli abbonamenti, quindi academia e sci hub.
Ma PlanS non fa di meglio, anzi spinge alle estreme conseguenze questa
pratica.
La parte realizzabile spinge in questo senso, quella non realizzabile (la
scadenza del 2020 ecc.) è fumo negli occhi e non sarà realmente applicata.
