Exactly. Which is why I hope some universities and associations simply take back publishing from the Elseviers and Taylor and Francises of the world, do it online, and make it open access. We can keep doing the free labor of writing, reviewing and even editing. - Rob Robert W.

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.

Whoever wrote this isn't very familiar with publisher copyright transfer agreements. 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?
