"Two of the leading open access publishers of scientific journals yesterday mounted a spirited defence of their embryonic industry in the face of criticism from traditional publishers such as Reed Elsevier that it is uneconomic and risks debasing scientific research. " Of course they're going to defend themselves! Vanity publishing is a concern, but if the new journals are formed by the former editorial boards of, say, Elsevier journals... then that's not a concern, is it?
