Brilliant initiative by Julian #Assange!
Represented by #JenniferRobinson, the #WikiLeaks founder submitter a #CriminalComplaint against the #NobelFoundation for its #PeaceNobelPrize to #CorinaMachado

Update. This is what I meant when I argued last week that a long-term goal of the #OpenAccess movement is the "reform of research culture to the point where institutions & individuals care more about the quality of research than where it is published."

The #NobelFoundation proved this is not pie in the sky.

I'd like to see an essay on why universities find this hard, given their current interests & incentives, & why the Nobel Foundation could do this bc it's not a uni.

Thank you to the #NobelFoundation for taking the nomination of #KatalinKarikó seriously. She was forced out of a high-prestige university, didn't win high-prestige grants, and didn't publish in high-prestige journals.

Readers: Does your institution squeeze out faculty with the second two properties? Think carefully before answering. If so, then the problem is systemic and not limited to #UPenn (except for Penn's claim of undue credit).
