(Knowledge that is so often publicly funded!). <br /><br />http://www.aaas.org/publications/<br /><br />The non-profit AAAS, established in 1848, currently publishes three respected peer-reviewed journals: <br /><br /><br /><br />There's Ted Talk people should see, a high quality one by Ben Goldacre: What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe<br />http://tinyurl.com/9y8chac<br /><br />Further More: Imagine if we had true 100% Open Access along side a crowd sourced rating system open to all scientist. <br /><br />I'd have much more trust in a paper any day that’s had 500 scientists passionate about the subject go over it, <br />As opposed to a paper that’s had 3 reviewers, with two disinterested in the subject & the other one who gets excited about finding grammar mistakes! <br />It seems logic like this does not sink in with everyone. Especially those who make a living selling you access to the knowledge we desperately need to share.<br /><br />Perhaps a big part of the problem is right in front of us: <br /><br />See AAAS Financial Summary for the years ending 31 December 2012 and 2011<br />General and administrative expenses<br />$15,542,000,,,<br /><br />Net assets, end of year 115,175,000,,,,<br /><br />http://annualreport.aaas.org/financial-summary/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248281078936364924noreply@blogger.com
