People,
Why do people use Academia.edu as a document repository?
I ask because Springer's polemical piece in the latest ACME links
out to a response from Levi Gahman, but it's on Academia.edu
and requires a Google or Facebook account or an email address
and other information to download the PDF. I've run up against
this too many times to count, and I thought I'd ask the list
what gives. Clearly, lots of people find the site useful and
like to publish manuscripts and things there. Why?
To me, it's really disappointing when I want to read something but don't want
to hand over my information to yet another website (especially one that
shares funders with Uber). But I understand that it's entirely possible
the site is so useful to its members as to make that an acceptable tradeoff.
I know lots of institutions provide open access repositories for
their students and faculty. Is Academia.edu easier to use or otherwise
preferable to these? Is there a need for easier-to-use open access repositories
or for free ones available to independent scholars or researchers at
institutions that don't provide such a system?
Cheers,
Reed
