This paper (An anti-capitalist critique to the commodification and privatization of information in libraries funded by the public sector) criticises some of the adverse effects of the governments when they privatise and commodify the information financed by the public purse, such as the double increasing of that information that has already been funded by public funds when the researchers have already been paid, and then their publications are being sold by commercial enterprises whose results had already been generated and financed by government public funds.

Published the journal LIS Critique, Vol. 6 No. 1 (Jan-Jun 2013)

This paper, “The journal Library and Information Science Critique reaches its five years against the capitalist slavery of publications,” makes a critical recount of the international open access double blind peer review journal Library and Information Science Critique: Journal of the Sciences of Information Recorded in Documents, since the author, Zapopan Martín Muela-Meza (Founder, Director and Editor-in-Chief) sent its first call for papers back on May 31st, 2008. It analyzes its viscisitudes and avatars to be maintained as an open journal fully free of charge against the capitalist slavery of publications, and not only that, but also with access totally free of charge, communal, and democratic for everyone throughout all of its processes: for authors, reviewers, editors, and above all for our readers. It criticises, defies, questions, and dismantles the bourgeois fallacies and charlatans of the capitalist slavery of publications of pay-per-access, and even within the open access movement where this journal belongs. At the same time it endorses its quality controls as for the international double blind peer reviewing comprising 32 expert peer reviewers from 18 countries, where 18 are female and the rest male, where the only great worriness we have is to serve as scientific and professional communication plattform in scientificly valid, trustworthy, and objetive manner, and with the times of publication as much timely as possible; non the less considering the contents of the papers received with a critical and anti-hegemonic carácter important than deadlines.
