“Scientific publishers should be terrified
that some of the world’s best scientists,
people at or near their research peak,
…are spending hundreds of hours each
year creating original research content for
their blogs, content that in many cases
would be difficult or impossible to
publish in a conventional journal.
By comparison, journals are standing still.”
