Abstract
“Science is not science until it is published”. Publication of the reviewed and refereed article is the end of the science process. In blue-sky disciplines, the published paper is almost the only quantifiable result. A cynic might wonder at the wisdom of spending so much money — particularly in high-energy physics and astronomy — to produce a few sheets of paper. But because so much investment has gone into their production, those few sheets of paper — or few kilobytes of text — deserve protection.
