[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77646413, member: 450900"] Yeah, the secular arguments against open access seem to win in this regard. Open access does work for some things, but research needs funding. If something is taxpayer funded, then it should be open access. If it is funded without taxes, then publishers have the right to close the access behind a paywall. Hopefully the profit margins are lowered a bit. But regardless, I try to give both sides to my posts in the ethics forums, as well as theological and secular reasoning as that allows for friendly discussions between Christians, non-Christians and people who support or deny the ethical concept presented. If someone wants to get access to a journal, most universities have programs or a subscription to Elsevier and other journal publishers. Or, folks could use MDPI, which is a journal publisher that publishes open access journals. But of course, there will be people that use software tools to bypass journal paywalls also, myself included. But, I will make a concerted effort not to do that anymore. Already, I deactivated the bypass software for news articles on my computers, since April 18, cos my library gives permission to read the news through my library card online. My library card is like the license that Gon (main character) uses to access special services such as cyberspace and public facilities. So, what do you think about the Biblical arguments for and against open access? It is getting late here, but I will respond to your reply about the Biblical perspectives tomorrow morning in about 9-10 hours or so. God bless, and good night.
