Colper Science

Colper Science aims at promoting open science and efficient scientific publishing. Why is it not free?

Scientific content should be free for two main reasons:
1- It will accelerate the progress of sciences which would directly benefit the public. Examples:
• Finding new treatments for diseases,
• Solving environmental issues
• Advanced technology for entertainment.

2- The majority of the research is funded by general public through tax paying. Scientific publishing is a billion-dollar bus

iness, and top publishing houses won’t let go of it that easily. They receive the work of authors and reviewers free of charge, but they build a paywall around the publications. The general public rarely knows of these issues in science but they pay for the majority of research, and they should benefit from it. We are informing the public about these issues and trigger constructive discussions with the goal of advancing the scientific publishing towards a more efficient and open system.

Transparent/open peer review might be the solution!
What do you think?

It's hard to believe how "far ahead" China is on this front until you see it with your own eyes.

, Université de Montréal Libraries have been forced to unbundle the “Big Deal” periodicals package with the publisher, as its usefulness is not worth the approximately US $500,000 per year demanded to access it.
