Some More Information on ACS, PRISM and Eric Dezenhall

This site says it all.

If you are wondering why the American Chemical Society is fighting open access, the answer is simple ... ACS management receives bonuses that are tied to the revenues generated from ACS publications. They are also paid in part with money collected from membership dues (yes, if you are a member of the ACS you pay part of their salaries.)

So if you are upset about the state of affairs let the ACS know.

What's awful is that this guy Rudy Baum has been writing those editorials against Open Access w/o letting people know about how his pay is structured. That's pretty reprehensible.
