The flow of ideas and knowledge should be free. Of course, publication of a paper journal has costs, and publishers are entitled to make a reasonable profit, but when the focus of scientific publication becomes make a profit, rather than distributing science, something has gone amiss. At least that is my opinion. We welcome and encourage the free flow of information and ideas. Moreover, we have structured our copyright policy so that the integrity of the publication is protected while at the same time students and educators can have unrestricted rights to reproduce the articles for non-profit educational purposes.
Publishing is that area had at times been a very frustrating experience.
There simply was no natural home for such research. For example, scientific research on the psychophysiological detection of deception has been published in journals ranging from Law and Society Review to Nature . Much work was published in first tier journals such as, The Journal of Applied Psychology and Psychophysiology . The scattering of this literature not only made scholarly work difficult but also resulted in a situation where submissions on the psychophysiological detection of deception were almost always a novelty, and where there were few people who were truly qualified to do peer review. It was not unusual to submit an article, have one of more of the peer reviewers write a unfavorable review, either because they did not know the literature, or because they simply were unfamiliar with the topic.
