[Bonetools] nanterre publication

[Vivian Scheinsohn]

Dear colleagues
As Christian has mentioned we all know how hard and difficult is to edit a book. So it is not astounding what happened with the Nanterre publication since, from my own experience, publishers are driven by a logic that is a world away from our own. I think we have to privilege the work just done and that all the efforts come to a good end. As long as I have understood the situation, the conditions that Isabelle has mentioned in her mail are imposed by the publisher. But we also have to think in the editor position here. When one researcher decide to edit a volume she/he decided this having all his/her circunstances in mind, since we are researchers and not professional editors. We have many, many others think to do. So if we change the circunstances, we are forcing her/him to confront a new publisher, probably a new evaluation and editing processes and so on. It is not fair  we asked to our colleagues for more time to invest in this.
Furthermore I think the prirority should be the papers be published soon, no wonder if they are published in hardcopy or as electronic publication.
So I think we can:  1) accept the conditions that the publishers are imposing and discuss the selection criteria (which it is not ideal but it is not bad from the view point of those who had just answered the consult: the selected papers will be in a hardcopy ) or 2) to publish all the papers in an electronic publication ( in the WBRG site or other), and take profit of all the hard work just done.
Best
