Open Source : Do you vote for?



Open source is a way of retrieving, finding and applying the presentations, books and publications on a free/semi-free basis without any cost. Do you think that we need to pay amount for publications? Or should we go for open source? Leave your comments..

I feel the move towards open access, is good for the advancement of science. In principle, while most people recognise the need for it, I think it should save one's energy while against we refer articles or papers at libraries. Instead these could be enabled electronically free. So shall we set to change the habits on a large scale?

I too feel and vote for open source and access of articles, software et al, but certainly with some conditions:

*Let users reward and retreat the author with credits by specifying it as a reference, even when the article is to be used for reading.

*Let there be a temporary phase of time and restricted access for the original sought out sources that
prove important.

*At the outset, the articles are to be necessarily categorised for according to their merits.

Any important things, you feel, please share.

i vote for open source. this is because i feel people associated with research need not pay for getting research papers. a common website to enter the research papers for all interested to view w'd certainly be agreat idea.
