Science publishing has many problems today. Some of them are caused by external factors, such as the computer and internet revolution. Others are because of the publication explosion and the resulting imbalance between the interests of science, authors, institutions, and the publishing business. However, these pains are part of the overall growth, nothing more. Society needs science more than ever, but progress cannot be made without reliable communication in publications. Publications are not science; they are yesterday’s information and knowledge, which are organized, stored, and shared on various media. It is important to understand actual problems with publications and consider what you can do.
