[IRTalk] Impact of Social Sciences – The current system of knowledge dissemination isn’t working and Sci-Hub is merely a symptom of the problem

[Hilton Gibson]

The emergence and popularity of Sci-Hub have prompted us to think, discuss,
and look for options beyond the obsolescent academic publishing system
currently in place. *But most importantly, it compels us to make a choice
between supporting the ‘unethical’ and ‘illegal’ dissemination of
knowledge, or contributing to the immoral (yet legal) commodification of
knowledge.*
