Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.74,0:00:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Academics tend to look down at issues of\Ncopyright and ignore their implications.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.35,0:00:11.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a consequence, as a community, they\Nmake mistakes that can prove very costly.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.21,0:00:16.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The most obvious example of these mistakes\Nis with scientific publishing of papers.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.09,0:00:20.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's look at the submission process \Nfor a paper in a mathematics journal.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.75,0:00:25.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After I write that paper, my submission\Nwill follow the peer review process.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.43,0:00:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A couple of other mathematicians \Nwill look at it to give a referee report,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.34,0:00:34.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a journal editor will decide to accept it\Nor not, based on those reports.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.79,0:00:40.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Neither the referees or the journal editor\Nwill be paid very much for this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.15,0:00:43.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If my paper gets accepted, most of the\Ntime,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.77,0:00:47.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have to cede copyright to the journal, \NI have to sign a contract.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.92,0:00:51.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then the paper gets published, \Nuniversity libraries around the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.45,0:00:52.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including my own,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.00,0:00:56.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that of the referees or the editor will\Nbuy a copy of the journal.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.48,0:01:00.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't get it directly to them, \Nor all the other universities
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.93,0:01:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I don't own \Nthe copyright anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.26,0:01:06.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because of this dominating position \Nof publishers
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.26,0:01:11.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-- the owners of journals -- \Nmost subscriptions are very expensive
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.78,0:01:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and charge a price that does not reflect \Nthe value added by the publisher.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.62,0:01:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, there is little work done \Nby the publisher in mathematics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.22,0:01:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The state of the paper at the moment of\Nsubmission is very close, visually,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.87,0:01:26.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the state at the moment of publication,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.01,0:01:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are already using similar tools\Nto edit formulas, as book copy editors.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.63,0:01:36.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in the end, the mathematics community\Npays publishers a lot of money
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.24,0:01:38.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for buying back their own work.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.74,0:01:41.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a crazy system, \Nbut one that has evolved
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.62,0:01:43.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because academics \Ndid not pay attention
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.21,0:01:49.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and let their most prestigious brands, \Nthe historically most prestigious journals
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.09,0:01:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be bought by big \Npublishing companies.
