Open data access from volunteers around the world for paywalled papers and/or subscription journals and related: What do you think about it?; Earn money with the effort, time and resources contributed by volunteers through non-profit activities: Is it ethical? I am not very happy with the fact that…

I agree that paywalled research articles can be an issue. However, the Panton Principles are really focused on the data themselves. If a paper uses open data, including those from citizen scientists (eg iNat data on GBIF), then by definition the underlying data is already open, so the publications a…

It looks like the Panton Principles you link note If you want your data to be effectively used and added to by others it should be open as defined by the Open Knowledge/Data Definition – in particular non-commercial and other restrictive clauses should not be used. This would permit even more re…

I am a bit confused about this - are you referring to paywalled papers that have used open source data, or something else. BTW, I hate paywalls.

Publishers often charge the authors $1000-3000 to make a research article open access… I wish I could make my papers open access but cannot afford to pay that!

I thought writers had to pay any way…but that seems not true ( i thought the price was 1500euro…so it is the same band width). If the writers pay…the abonnement is free, so you earn it in a different way…no abonnoment fees…necessary

I’ve seen original papers from the late 1800’s that were still paywall protected! I was looking for the original description of a moth.

Yeah exactly this, either the authors pay for free access for the public or the public/institutions pay for access to the article. On the low end I’ve seen ~$1,000 but it can be a lot more
