AAP PRISM Program Criticized
An article in the September 11 Chronicle of Higher Education reports on criticism by university presses and research librarians of the Association of American Publishers’ (AAP) Partnership for Research Integrity in Science and Medicine (PRISM) program. PRISM attacks open-access means of scholarly publishing by equating them with “government inference in the scholarly communication process,” while critics contend that its rhetoric is inaccurate and that it does not reflect the viewpoints of all AAP members.
