From: David Prosser <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:59:59 +0000 Between 10 and 20 years ago I worked for two large journal publishers. One a massive commercial publisher, the other a prestigious university press. In neither of these organisations would copy-editors routinely fact-check the articles they were working on, and the type of issue that Joe has highlighted would not have been picked up. I know that it is tempting to view this as a failing of the APC OA business model, but it really isn't. The vast majority of publishers have been striving to push-down costs, including costs for copyediting and proof-reading. I'm sure we all have our own lists of favourite publishing errors (mine is a photo clearly upside-down in an article put out by the aforementioned massive commercial publisher that made it past the proof-reader), but let's not pretend this is necessarily an OA issue.
