Core vs. Non-core Practices
Core = Upholding rigor, integrity, cumulative nature of knowledge
Non-core = selling subscriptions, offering licensing agreements, parceling out knowledge into “issues” with “pages,” assigning DOIs, doing peer review prior to publication, and measuring a journal’s impact factor
Giant Sorting Mechanism
“is this the best way to disseminate science?”
