    Agitating for innovation through open licensing and good technology.

    • Preprint: The Control Fallacy

      Saturday, 26 Apr 2008 - 14:42 UTC

      So, I have been spending my copious amounts of plane time lately writing. I’ve got a series of articles under draft, including one on datuments, one on the dangers of naively porting licensing concepts from code to data, and another one on integrating data and databases. But I’ve got one pretty well ready to go. It’s a paper on the relationship between OA and innovation.

      The problem is, it sprawled from the original 1000 words to, well, a lot more. I’m going to hack it way down and it’ll be a totally different article. But I thought this one deserved its own URI as well. As such, I’m eating my own preprint dogfood. It’s online in Nature Precedings under CC BY 3.0 as The Control Fallacy: Why OA Out-Innovates the Alternative and I welcome comments either to me directly, here at this blog, or on the Precedings page for the paper.
