The blog hiatus ends today with a guest post from @MichaelBlasie, providing an example of a plain language waiver, and posing the question, is this a better contract?

I'm still surprised to see articles on #OpenAccess journals that decry the problem of #APCs, acknowledge the existence of no-APC OA journals (#DiamondOA), but recommend wider adoption of APC #waivers rather than wider support for no-APC journals.

The passengers on the OceanGate submersible signed an exculpatory agreement that disclosed the very risks that killed them. Can their families nonetheless sue? Does it matter? It is not clear that the entity will survive this catastrophe, nor does it seem likely that the victims' survivors will be in need a cash. It is, however, an opportunity to consider the public policy behind such exculpatory agreements.

Who's paying "tribute" to the #Titan #CEO, I wonder. He violated all the essential engineering principles, safety rules, and practical wisdoms of this highly specialised field.

I'd rather never see another such avoidable catastrophe. To that end, I hope the lawyers representing the victims' estates are furiously combing through those #waivers.

I learn from one of my students’ papers this semester that at least one Oregon ski resort is allowing season pass holders to opt out of the liability waiver for an additional charge. Super interesting idea that I don’t remember hearing before. #torts #waivers

Just found out about the new #Evolutionary #Journal of the #Linnean #Society 👍🏻👏

Good part, it is #openaccess.
Bad part, it is open access.

Open acces paradox: researchers from developing countries are able to access papers for free, but unable to publish on them. Outcome: Increased impact for countries with higher incomes.

We need full #waivers for ALL researchers from developing countries 😔
