DarrenI dont disagree at all. I think my point (perhaps badly made) is that most scholarly associations and many universities might not be able or willing to do that.

I grant you that, but they are not paying for the vast majority of labor they rely upon. If I review a paper, it is 3-4 hours of reading, checking ideas, etc. If we assume we all only receive papers that are in the center of our active research programs, narrow that down to 1-2 hours for a thoughtful, useful review. Even that low number yields some potentially expensive reviews for many comm/ICT journals that publish 80-100 articles annually if publishers were paying for the actually work product. I for one would like to have 1/2 my hourly consulting rate for the reviews I did last year. Homero probably would as well.

Even if you take the physical distribution out of the mix, publishers do a lot of things to get it out the door, keep it indexed and marketed and so forth. Some associations (many of which are small) use publishers to meet a lot of their back office needs as well. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Nathaniel Poor Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2013 4:59 PM To: Gil De Zuniga, Homero Cc: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Elsevier is taking down papers from Academia.edu It seems like double billing. Your U paid you to do the research. Your U pays the publisher to allow access for those at your U to that research. That is simplified, but not inaccurate. Sent from my iPhone

I know this might sound a bit odd, and I admit it beforehand : -} But it sends to me that "us" researchers are the ones who are really losing in this trend, beyond the discussion of open research. 1.

But if it's not, why shouldn't be the case that at least a decent part of the financial benefits revert back to the authors, departments, research units, schools, etc... Saludos, HGZ

Setting aside individual publishers' rules about posting pre-prints to a /personal/ site, I've wondered for some time why publishers have not yet gone after Academia.edu, which is not a personal site, but a centralized social network built in part on top of a lot of copyright violations. It's YouTube all over again.

Some publishers often distinguish between the author's draft and the final peer reviewed and paginated version. That is, posting a draft on your site (or to SSRN, say) is permissible, copying the final version is not. Hence I'm curious as to which these removed versions were?
