Proceeding contribution from Ian Gibson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scientific Publications: Free for all?.


Scientific Publications: Free for all?

: Under the current system, authors must pay for certain parts of a paper, for example, if it contains a plate or a colour picture. That can be very expensive and one often must get a charity or someone else to pay for it. Therefore, there is already a restriction on authors. It can be quite expensive to publish a paper.
