Re: The p's and q's of publishing

Greetings
Thank you Mr. Stevan Harnad for your post on Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 .
Does this mean that Universities hosting self-published or self-archived
academic papers and online teaching and learning materials are in fact
acting as publishers? Does this mean that they are therefore subject to the
rules obligations and conventions that apply to all publishers? Do these
publisher conventions and obligations demand that Universities begin to pay
royalties, cash advances and other incentives, for all online teaching and
learning content they agree to publish on equipment owned and managed by
them? If Universities are engaged in a publishing activity that is carried
out as an integral part of their standard business service delivery activity
should they not pay those who offer their intellectual property for
publication. Is it not reasonable to assume that those who deliver the
content that allows a publisher to provide a service and to benefit from it,
deserve to be paid for it?
