Corrigendum: False alarm. The Reuss article is not new. Peter Suber has since noted (May 23 2010):
“Though I tagged the Reuss article yesterday, thinking it was new, I removed the tag soon afterwards. I believe the article is the same one he published in February 2009, framed with a new advertisement and current date — apparently the newspaper’s way of highlighting stories from its archive…”
But the critiques still bear repeating till the “Heidelberg Appeal”‘s repealed and the author corrects its canards…
Roland Reuss “Eine heimliche technokratische Machtergreifung“
Same old tune. Same false notes:
Green-OA/Gold-OA conflated.
Books/articles conflated.
Imaginary “authors’ rights violations” absurdly alleged.
Newspapers clearly have no peer review for either facts or logic…
