‘learned’ societies serve their constituent members through their many activities, publishing papers and hosting conferences, science advocacy, public affairs, and other activities designed to foster communities
The primary motivation for the gold open access model is that the cost of funding and doing science and publishing the same science should not be the burden of the taxpayer, at least in the case of the NIH and other government agencies
Summary
The move to gold open access has had inevitable consequences for the journal and, importantly, for the ASBMB. ‘learned’ societies serve their constituent members through their many activities, publishing papers and hosting conferences, science advocacy, public affairs, and other activities designed to foster communities. What has changed is the landscape of journals, many designed in the for-profit model. It costs money to handle and publish scientific results.
