should be relegated Aston Villa, Blackburn, West Ham is not to be Fleetwood Town. And what about the celebration of Craig Beattie?

Villa could benefit from a spell in the Premier League

Aston Villa are a sad sight these days - tired, directionless, shy, hesitant miserably in a season of nothing. What is the enjoyment of being caught on the terraces of Villa Park these days? This is a club that seems overworked, out of breath just to tread water in the Premier League, the race to stand still. They need to recharge their batteries, to find some momentum to stop the constant fight against the fire and find a way forward as a club.

What better than a year or two (or more) in the Championship? Many clubs have found the descent to have a restorative effect. Norwich is probably the best example. Between 2005 and 2009, the Canary Islands is going nowhere, dig in the bottom half of the Championship, good enough to stay, but only just. He took the fall for the first division in 2009 and the appointment of Paul Lambert, after a disastrous start to the season in the third level to turn the club around.

boot

place around the points - the club won only 56 league games in four seasons of 2004-05 - were able to strip things, start over and create an impulse, an impulse that is with them today. If the Canary Islands had somehow improvised together enough points to stay in the last weeks of the 2008-09 season would not be in the position today. Newcastle is another to have recovered from the fall in style.

Alex McLeish - it is almost certain to be replaced in case of fall, another advantage for Villa fans - has a very young team at his disposal, a talent that is not yet fully mature. Ciaran Clark, Nathan Baker Chris Herd, Gary Gardner, Samir Carruthers, and even Andreas Weimann, Barry Bannan and Marc Albrighton could benefit from finding their feet in professional football at the lower level, rather than learning the hard way in the elite . In fact, the suspicion is that the only reason many of these players are not ready on the outside of the Premier League is the shortage of material McLeish.

A step backward for two steps forward? It can be painful, but it might be fun. And the Villa fans have not had much of this in this season.

Blackburn faked

Aa Steve Kean was so unpopular

this season, you could probably find people in Shoreditch T-shirts, ironically, he celebrates. For fans of Blackburn Rovers, however, the joke has worn thin, fast beside him in a position of relative strength is not so long ago, is now in the process. Beating Sunderland 2-0 Blackburn at Ewood Park on March 20, they are five points ahead of 18 placed Bolton Wanderers, but after playing one more game. They were also six points ahead of Wigan Athletic. Safety in sight. Kean

five games and five losses later, everything went wrong for Blackburn. Now 19, who are three points adrift of QPR and Wigan, Bolton and one behind, who also have two games in hand. Maybe I should not be too surprising. They were up and down all season, luring us through their actions inconsistent and unpredictable. They took a point from their opening four games, then beat Arsenal. After losing at home to Bolton in December, a negative result which left them down on Christmas Day, it was assumed that there was no turning back. Then they came to Anfield and won at Old Trafford. A 7-1 hammering at Arsenal was followed by a 3-2 win at home to QPR. Kean Kean Kean Kean on -. Admire the Hokey-Cokey manager

The consequences of the ultimate defeat of Blackburn, one by beating Swansea City 3-0, suggests that the game is over, especially when it also lost 3-0 to West Brom last week's defeat home by 10 men, Liverpool, in the middle. Most disturbing of Kean was the sight of their two best players, Junior Hoilett and Yakubu, who is injured. Without them, Blackburn has a small threat. Grant Hanley has also been seriously injured when Gael Givet was apparently not "in the right frame of mind" to play, but given the state of Blackburn defense, which could be hard to say.

Blackburn has good players and, although they can still survive, there is a feeling that this season should not be so bad. Beneath them sit the wolves, which are certainly not going back. Some advice, then, regardless of the owner of a football club, two Premier League sides in the background are the responsibility of owners who have over-promoted someone from within to power the computer. Last season, West Ham Avram Grant, who looks a bit like Kean Blackburn, finished last. There is a recipe for success.

The championship will go to the last

This is the source of irritation for Allardyce - where was this performance when they drew at home to Doncaster last month? By not overcome Watford and Crystal Palace at Upton Park? When he left Burnley East London, with three points? But still, such was the margin of victory on Saturday on goal difference goes back into the game. Goal difference of Southampton was 11 goals in West Ham at the start of the weekend. The difference now is a period of three much less certain. If the Hammers to maintain some sort in this way is more than capable of winning three out of three until the end of the season. It goes to the cable.

atheists are too often presented as a handful of extremists bishop bashing and serious discussion with the religious becomes impossible. How can I fix it? The Guardian Weekend Open, Julian Baggini presented his 12 rules for pagans

In recent years, atheists have become more confident and open in the articulation and defense of our wickedness in the public square. Much has been gained by this. There is now greater awareness of the reasonableness of a naturalistic point of view of the world, and some of the unwarranted deference to religion has been removed, exposing them to critical scrutiny if necessary.

Unfortunately, however, in a culture that tends to focus on the differences in the broad sense, the most extremist and most strident, the "moderate center" was set aside for this debate. There is an overwhelming perception of bias, and the feeling that the discussions have sunk into a dead end vitiated by the same old tired arguments to be repeated time and again by the protagonists who are receiving more and more entrenched.

is time, therefore, for those of us who are tired of the current situation to try to change the direction of our public discussions about atheism in areas where more progress and a real dialogue is possible. To do this, we need to rethink what it means atheism and how to present it. The so-called "new atheism" may put us on the map, but in the public imagination, which amounts to little more than a caricature of Richard Dawkins, who is not an accurate representation of ground that many of us occupy. Now we need something more.

This manifesto is an attempt to point to the next phase of atheism participation in public discourse. There is a list of doctrines that people are invited to sign, but a set of suggestions to give direction to the debate and discussion. It is not an attempt to describe precisely what all atheists have in common. It is rather an attempt to prescribe the best form of atheism should be.

Why are infidels

has long been recognized that the term "atheist" connotes useless. It was too dark and associations as defined negatively against what opposes, this is not what it represents. "Humanist" is an alternative, but humanists are a subset of atheists who have a formal organization and a set of beliefs that atheists do not share much. Whatever the intentions of those who adopt the label "rationalist" and "brilliant" both suffer from being too self-satisfied, complacent, meaning that others are irrational or poorly lit.

If we want an alternative, we must look to other groups who have made derisive nicknames, such as homosexuals, Methodists and Quakers. We need a name that shows that we do not think too highly of ourselves. This is not a point significant: atheism is facing the human condition with honesty, and the need to recognize our absurd, weakness and stupidity, not only our capacity for creativity, intelligence, the love and compassion. "Heathen" answers this ambition. We are pagans because we have not been saved by God and because, in the absence of divine revelation, which are in many respects very bright. The main difference between us and religion is that we know this is true of us all, but I think it is for them.

pagans are naturalists

heathen are nothing more than non-believers, we believe that many things well. More importantly, we believe in naturalism: the natural world is all there and there is no intentional body, knowing that creates or manages. The natural world may hold many mysteries and dimensions are not yet, but we have no reason to believe they are something like heaven, divinities and supernatural spiritual worlds that characterized the religious beliefs of the history. Many believers deny the "supernatural" label, but if you're willing to give up beliefs, as in the reality of a divine person, miracles, resurrection or life after death, are not naturalists.

Our first commitment is to truth

Although we think a lot about what works and which does not exist, it is not reaching conclusions based on our worldview. This foundation is the desire to see the world as true as we can, with our rational faculties as best we can, based on the best evidence we have. This is where our main commitment is not, the conclusions they reach. Therefore, we are ready to accept the possibility that we are wrong. It also means that we respect and have much in common with people who come to very different conclusions, but they have an equal respect for truth, reason and evidence. A pagan has more in common with a sincere and rational, researcher of religious truth that the atheist, whose lack of belief is undeniable, and it has become undeniable.

We regard science, not scientism

Science pagan place in high regard, humans are the most effective ways have been developed to achieve a true understanding of the real nature of the world based on reason and evidence. If a conflict of beliefs with science, then no matter how much I appreciate it, science must prevail. This is why religious beliefs are most opposed to those who question the scientific knowledge, such as young earth creationism.

However, this does not make us scientist. Scientism is the belief that science is the only way to obtain true knowledge of the world, and everything must be understood through the prism of science or anything. There scientist atheists, pagans, but are not among them. Science is limited in what it can contribute to our understanding of who we are and how we live, because many of the most important facts of human life emerge only at a level of description in which science is dumb. The story, for example, may ultimately depend on nothing but the movement of atoms, but you can not understand the Battle of Hastings by examining the interactions between fermions and bosons. Love can depend on nothing but the physical output of the neurons, but everyone tries to understand that under these conditions does not know what love means.

Science can make life difficult for us. For example, it may compromise certain beliefs about free will that many atheists were on the basis of giving dignity and autonomy of our species.

Gentiles, to properly respectful of science, but also aware of its limitations. Science is our Bible. The last word in everything

reason that the value

something precious but fragile

We are convinced, not dogmatic

modesty of heathen on the power of reason and the certainty of its conclusions should not be confused with a shrug agnosticism. We have a very high degree of confidence in the truth of our naturalistic worldview. However, non-dogmatic to say that. Be open to error and change our mind does not mean we lack conviction that we are right. Strength of belief is not the same as the rigidity of dogma.

warm and accessible, Alexandra Shulman is the antithesis of a queen of fashion reader. Elizabeth Day visit Vogue editor has many years of service to speak of panic attacks, his first novel, and why she hates being a woman today

Alexandra Shulman, as befits a woman who was editor of Vogue

for 20 years, living in impeccable style house overlooking Queen's Park on the north-west London. The boards are painted white wallpaper and not enough with the birds in cages. Several mid-century chairs, covered with bright turquoise, stood quietly here and there. Even the black and white cat called Coco (such as Chanel, one assumes).

the midst of this ode to good taste, is 54 years, Shulman, the preparation of strong coffee in the spacious kitchen (sand-colored tiles, floor tiles glass ceiling). But despite the sophistication slightly abducted from his home, Shulman in itself is not what you expect. Most of us imagine>

publishers, maintained and terrifying, like ice cream Meryl Streep character

The Devil Wears Prada

never had a hair out of place, but Shulman and smiled at least once this morning, and her hair - Well, how can I put this kindly? - The hair is a wild jumble of foreground to overcome. Her clothes are fashionable, but quietly intimidating: a navy blue cardigan, a skirt with knee design and comfort aspects Anya Hindmarch heels. And - shock, horror! - You eat. , Real, fattening things. "You want a croissant or something?" She asked, passing gestures to a plate full of cakes.

We're here to talk much anticipated first novel Shulman,

we still friends

, which traces the life and loves of three women aged 20 - somethings in 1980 in London, but it is impossible, after rising, not to be assaulted in a discussion about the culture of extreme thinness in the fashion industry. Shulman, by his own admission, is not the slim model - in ballet classes as a child, was always chosen as "the storm", while his friends were raindrops. Do not worry for his role in the perpetuation of a culture where thinness is equated with beauty?

"I think this is one of the true spirit of the fashion industry," he admits, "I think it's very frustrating and I do not know of where it comes from, but I think if I had that absolutely nails, [is] probably the designers because they are cutting children's clothing. And if the girl does not fit into the clothes, then they will not be reserved. So you have the model agent say. "You have to lose weight," And then when it comes to cables, photographers - and to some extent, the fashion editors - to use girls who think they are nice girls, and girls are fresh, they have to work with designers, so it kind of flows. "

In June 2009, Shulman, wrote a letter to the major international fashion houses, including Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Prada and Versace, complaining that his "small" size of the samples were forcing editors fashion models to use with "protruding bones" and "no breasts or hips." And yet, does not support Shulman, seems to have changed much over the three years that followed.

"I'm glad I wrote it. Have you made a difference? I do not think so. But at least I tried to do something and ... uh, yeah I mean, there is no doubt that type of clothing to our western eyes look better in a thinner, but there is a difference between a thin and emaciated young designers I speak all the time and I do not think you can see, many of them. "

male and female designers? She looks dejected. "Yes, probably."

Interestingly, although novel Shulman has three female roles, two of them working in the media, none of them is increasingly worry about their weight. Are you tired of talking about body image? She smiled. "No, I know I have."

writing the novel was something Shulman has always wanted to do for years but do not be discouraged. "I did not have the time or the idea or think you might do," she said. Finally, an officer approached him and recited the script we still be friends over 18 months, writing in the early morning, weekends and holidays. The process was not without surprises - who has written 30,000 words of a previous history to told by his agent "So how was the trash you left.". we still friends

certainly not garbage. Shulman is nice and has a great eye for small detail everything - newspaper reporter women entering the work early and hides the bag of shopping on your desktop, for example, or Sloaney, the mother with a house " the plastic hair "patron household staff. But for someone who was a jobbing journalist, as his 20 years at the top of his profession for more than two decades, shows a remarkable lack of confidence about their writing. "I think the plot and dialogue extremely difficult," she said. "We expect an improvement in it."

The book is dedicated to Shulman's mother, former journalist and author of a book on etiquette, Beyfus Drusilla. "I do not think you particularly like," Shulman said, flatly. "I mean, nobody said," I do not like your book, "but I think you can kind of tell people he does and people who have not and are not really the thing I am sure she will. believes that parts of it are very good. But it has always been very critical of our work so that n is not a surprise. "

does not seem to bother him, in fact, there seems to be an expectation by Shulman that everything she does is never good enough. Some of her friends, she has always been precarious. "She never had the highest regard," says an acquaintance. Another, known as a professional, he adds: "It is very private and secure There are people who have worked with her for years that they had no idea how he felt about them until they leave and threw big parties .. I think that is driven by the need to succeed. Write a book, when you're the director of Vogue

and you know everyone will read it who is stuck his head above the parapet - it's a fucking thing to do "

Do you feel successful? Shulman doubt. "Uh, I'm very happy. Yes, I'm sure I'm successful." Pause. "But do not feel that way to me."

. Kansas City maintain 100% record in MLS with Kei Kamara goal

. THE losing David Beckham back spasms before the game

Galaxy common remains below the Western Conference

Preamble:

Early in the season had many (myself included) who believe that these two teams would be the best in MLS this season . But while Kansas City Sporting sit atop the Eastern Conference has the only 100% record in MLS last year's champions were far from convincing. Galaxy is lower joint of the Western Conference, tied with Home Depot Center, Chivas exchange.

Who knew that losing a key player would have a great impact on the galaxy? But enough about Chris Birchall. A great loss to Los Angeles was central defender Omar Gonzalez. The ability to grind to a Galaxy 1-0 last season was against the popular perception that Los Angeles is all about glamor its strike force. Donovan, Keane, and, of course, Beckham

Galaxy

weaknesses were exposed in the first half of the first game of the season: the first stage of the CONCACAF Cup quarter-final in Toronto. Some problems the second half comeback hidden briefly, but Los Angeles have not yet registered a clean sheet, were beaten at his home in Toronto (second stage), Real Salt Lake and New England. A victory over DC United's poor performance champions. Galaxy have yet to keep a clean sheet and the situation became so serious that last week, Beckham was subbed in the first half, the reaction of surprise / disbelief / inclusion of all spectators.

But to answer my own question in the title picture above is obviously not

all

about Goldenballs. What Sporting CJ Sapong?

Since the end of their huge tour of 2011, KC has been on a roll, which ran briefly in the playoffs, but rose again from the beginning of this season. Sporting scored seven and conceded just one so far this season and the only charge that can be done about them is they have yet to face the toughest test after playing DC Revolution, Dallas and Chivas. However, you can only play the teams are against you, Sporting did the work, and if Galaxy still count as one of the strongest teams in the league we may soon discover.

So, join us for this key early season clash of two pre-season favorites, and share your thoughts by email at steve.busfield @ guardiannews.com or via Twitter @ Busfield.

12 minutes:

This game started licking decent, with both sides passing the ball very well. Did I say how strong you are in the pot?

13 minutes:

Dunivant put in a header to clear the ball against good Kamara in the Los Angeles area. And now he's down with the head.

Patrick Sheehan e-mails about the incident

which is funded by the public must be accessible to all - an approach to open access methods of the publication is in progress

As a scientist and as a citizen want to see universal adoption of the open access model of scholarly publishing, because it will be better for science and the best for society.

open access, where costs are met in advance by the author and the documents are free for readers, could improve the science, which makes all the published results and ideas available to researchers around the world and thus fuel the engine of discovery. Currently, too many of our research is locked behind paywalls that limit access and progress since.

Change ownership of the scientific literature outside of commercial publishers, open access also provides a clear recognition that most of its value comes from the scientific publishing and business-funded . This is a delay correction, which will also facilitate the dissemination of scientific information beyond the scientific community and the general public, through taxes and charitable giving, has the moral right of their products.

In a connected world, people increasingly realize they need - and deserve - access to scientific literature that have been paid if the patient groups seeking the latest medical research or citizens who try to deal with research involving public policy on important issues such as climate change, the use of drugs or genetically modified foods. We can say that most members of the public would not be able to understand the primary scientific literature, even if they had free access, but the mere fact of its availability - through a transition to open access - should encourage a healthy demand more acceptable public reports of scientists they support. Direct exposure to the scientific community for the public's appetite for research results could even have positive effects on the development of research priorities.

Consequently, despite all the science funded in the UK must now be published by one of the roads open, deposit rates remain low. The research councils have recently begun monitoring compliance rate, so that figures are hard to find, but some reports indicate that there may be as low as 5%. The Wellcome Trust, a charitable organization of medical research has shown that significant simplification of the funding mechanism that allows authors to recover the costs of open access can increase performance dramatically. Yet, trust is disappointed to learn that the compliance rate among its funded scientists are only about 55%.

The absence of strong incentives or sanctions donors promotes a lackadaisical attitude of scientists, who must also bear some responsibility for the slow adoption of open access. While most would agree that open access is good, you can forget that, during the arduous process of pasturing of new results in the literature. For many, the distractions of negotiating with the referees to deal with multiple rounds of submission and rejection in different journals may mean that the last step in the sorting rules for open access, simply falls into oblivion .

The situation is compounded by the variation in the terms and conditions for open access among publishers and even between different journals from the same publisher. It is difficult to maintain and many scientists are simply unaware of the options available to them. Too many think that the publication in journals of higher rank, by their nature or science, which is widely seen as vital for success in financing and promoting applications, it is incompatible with the modes of publication free access. But this is simply not the case. Not only high-ranking journals for open access (though often through sub-optimal routes that involve a period of six to 12 months), but the stability of open access journals and the quality of serious (eg Public Library of Science), in which each document is free for readers, is growing rapidly.

recovery of this former housing policy only reinforces the barrier between those who are and are not considered worthy of the mortgage

When the right to buy council house was introduced in 1980, was announced as the "owning democracy" pay. In a clear example of how political rhetoric now has the ring of a catalog of Homebase, David Cameron, said last week that the political resurgence of the voters will buy his first "major milestone on the property ladder." Democracy does not come into it when it is every man for himself.

It is now a foot "vital" for those who are not only for those who are among the waiting list, the Council and the private rental market, they know that without it, and their families can spend a lifetime in an insecure and inadequate housing. Instead of creating mixed communities stable, "among other claims made by the premier of the new system certainly requires a ladder always be willing to relocate?

is true that in some areas with a high proportion of former council housing, most of those who exercise the right to buy have stayed. In other areas, many from right to buy the beneficiaries were sold to private owners looking to buy cheaper properties to rent. In other places where housing need is greatest, such as central London, the advice is to hire back their former properties at open market rates, to private owners to maintain the status-free shelter.

restore the right to buy a political coalition led by Cameron has once again reiterate the phrases most disadvantaged of all the main parts. "Game Rules" "families" who "work hard "People and respectable, in other words, eager to regain a sense of order in what they perceive as a time of disorder, disruption, values. Although the right to buy software to level is not currently part of the housing policy of Labour - are redefined at the moment - repeated calls, Ed Miliband, the "working families" come from the same cribsheet

This, then, more overtly political than pragmatic in the old sense of the nation Tory. It aims to unite the country through more equitable access to decent housing, but to break with an emphasis on ownership tirelessly at home. It strengthens the barrier between those who are considered worthy of mortgages and those who are not, and places the mortgage now in a more vulnerable position than those whose rent gives them security.

As a tenant in social housing stock and very specific, statistically more likely that a current owner to be less safe at work, at a time when the lowest paid and least skilled are more vulnerable to redundancy. Right to buy owners were also more likely to fall in arrears and their houses taken over and left in a terrible irony, the need for emergency housing advice.

In addition, the right to buy tends to divert the family houses in prime areas of the remaining population, leaving apartments and houses for those less favored on the waiting list. The new right to buy rules, unlike the original plan, allowing councils to keep revenue from sales to reinvest in the stock recovery, but in practice the boards with the core values ??of the land to the within cities like London does not return enough to replace them.

reports on how to protest against a Cambridge mathematician led to require open access to scientific knowledge

all started with a blog entry thwarted by an eminent mathematician. Tim Gowers and his colleagues had been complaining to each other for several years about the rising costs of academic journals.

They, like many other researchers, were upset that the work done by peers, and largely funded by taxpayers, sitting behind the paywalls private publishers charged by universities in the UK hundreds of millions of pounds a year for the privilege of access.

had spoken last year that major scientific could go out in public to highlight the problem and scientists rally to speak against the publishers, but nothing happened quickly.

Thus, in January this year, Gowers wrote an article on his blog saying that from now would refuse to submit the revision or any academic journal published by Elsevier, the largest publisher of scientific journals in the world.

not expect what happened next. Thousands of people read hundreds of post and left positive feedback. In one day, an officer has created a website, The Cost of knowledge, allowing academics to register their protest against Elsevier.

The site now has nearly 9,000 signatories, who have all promised to refuse any peer review, submit or make editorial work for publications of Elsevier. "I did not expect to make a splash," said Andrew Gowers. "At first I was surprised by how quickly they have ruined everything."

Gowers, a mathematician at Cambridge University and the winner of the prestigious Fields Medal had been nailed to academics who were fed more and more with the field that publishers have little gained with the publication and distribution of scientific research worldwide.

The current publishing model is broken science support a growing number of supporters of open access publishing, a model in which all scientific research funded by taxpayers available for free on the web.

paywalls costly not only lose the funds of the college, they say, but slower scientific discovery and the future of creating obstacles to the interested public to politicians and patient groups need access to primary research for exercising their democratic rights.

Stephen Curry, a structural biologist at Imperial College London, said that scientists need to reach a new agreement with publishers adapt to the online age, and that "for a long period, we have taken for a walk and it's ridiculous. "

He adds: "We face important political decisions in a number of issues: climate change, energy production, cloning, stem cell technology, genetically modified foods - not we expect to deal correctly unless we have access to scientific research in each of these areas. "

Academic Publishers UK universities charge about £ 200 a year for access to scientific journals, nearly a tenth of the £ 2.2 billion distributed to them by the government, by means the board of finance operating costs of basic academic research.

Despite the recession, these offices helped academic publishers operate with profit margins of 35% or more for their raw materials and the work of thousands of taxpayer-funded charity, scientists free.

The three major publishers - Elsevier, Springer and Wiley - own most of the world is more than 20,000 journals and represent about 42% of all journal articles published. And, as library budgets in recent years in the UK and North America remained stable or declining, journal prices have increased by 5-7% a year or more.

a separate subscription for one of the most expensive magazine Elsevier, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, costs more than ? 18,000 (£ 15,000) per year. Most universities buy packages of magazines, however, so you can quickly set up bills of over £ 1 million each to access journals on request.

"As scientists, we let ourselves be pushed around a lot," said Curry, who recently stopped Elsevier Review and resigned as an academic publisher Elsevier journal.

"We give all this work for free to publishers and I think just be aware of the huge profits involved, I am much less willing to donate my time ... I'm more inclined to say I will devote my time and effort to open access journals are more strongly. "

price, however, is only part of the question. Researchers and librarians also wonder why the editors should have exclusive control of how research is distributed and shared. "We believe it is wrong and what is not the most efficient operation of scholarly communication," says David Prosser, Executive Director of Research Libraries UK.

"To be effective, scientific information must be as wide as possible. We have seen a growing body of evidence showing that if we move to a world of free access, there are benefits not only the scientific process, but also greater economic benefits. "

Until the advent of the web, print magazines are the easiest and fastest way to cope with the increasing amount of research in a growing number of universities around the world. But as the numbers of journals grew, publishers have become the de facto guardians of scientific knowledge, the restriction could see the latest ideas in place to allow ideas to spread as far as possible.

Academic

present the results of their research projects in a magazine, whose editors, and then send the manuscript to other academics in the same field for the purpose of peer review.

If the item passes this stage, publishers often require researchers to pay hundreds or thousands of pounds, if you spend a certain number of pages or if you want to include color diagrams. Once these costs are paid, the research has been published and available in print and online, to anyone willing to pay for access. Organization of the whole process clearly requires effort, but justifies the huge profit margins that publishers do?

Gowers said that publishers rarely make explicit that the peer review based on the quality control is done voluntarily and publishers make profits on the back of this volunteer work.

"academics write papers, referee academic papers, researchers will select the works to be published - it's almost as if the publisher simply need except, perhaps, the role of the organization and provide the name of the magazine that gives him a certain reputation. "

Nature, one of the largest in the world of interdisciplinary scientific journals and the property of the Macmillan Publishing Group, subscriptions to access charges all its magazines and websites.

In an editorial published in January, the magazine has championed the value to the scientific approach, saying that the publication of original research papers require publishers to "make a careful assessment of the scientific community , and the stage of arbitration involves many revisions deliberation, discussion and occasional that significantly improve the impact strength and scientific management. "

Elsevier ArXiv.org is a website long as anyone can publish a research manuscript that they like and make it accessible to the world for free. In some subjects, including physics, almost everything you see here before it goes to peer review and before publication in a scientific journal.

other open access model comes from the Public Library of Science (PLoS), an organization based in San Francisco.

The organization publishes several magazines in class, including PLoS Biology and PLoS Medicine, PLoS and more generally, a magazine that is published on any topic that could be classified as Scientific and accept all proposals that findings are supported by the data presented.
