“Rogue Scholar helps blogs that publish their content under an open license. Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) is the appropriate license for scholarly publications, as explained by the Open Access Publishers Association (OASPA). Therefore content is always free to read, share and adapt for users of Rogue Scholar, and I hope to see interesting services and other implementations evolve over time.
Consistent with the POSI principle revenue based on services, not data, I could see newsletters as a possible revenue source in the future, as long as content always remains accessible free of charge via webpage or RSS feed….
To align the Rogue Scholar with the mission-consistent revenue generation discussed in the previous paragraph, Rogue Scholar is launching two payment options today:
Donations (one-time or monthly) of $3 or more if you want to support the Rogue Scholar as a reader. Follow the new buy me a coffee link in the navigation bar on top of all Rogue Scholar pages.
Follow the pay for more blog posts link in the Rogue Scholar pricing section to pay for archiving additional blog posts. Pay a one-time fee of $25 to archive 25 blog posts (including full-text search and DOI registration). This can be for your own blog or any other blog included in the Rogue Scholar, and can of course be multiples of 25 to archive more blog posts….”
