2011 "status, they all have a social mission. Their primary reason for being is "
2012 "to make the world a better place, not to profit. Money is a means to a "
2013 "social end, not the end itself. They factor public interest into decisions, "

2970 "have to generate some type of value for their audience or customers. "
2971 "Sometimes that value is subsidized by funders who are not actually "
2972 "beneficiaries of that value. Funders, whether philanthropic institutions, "
2973 "governments, or concerned individuals, provide money to the organization out "
2974 "of a sense of pure altruism. This is the way traditional nonprofit funding "

4469 "In 2005, at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in northern Italy, "
4470 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "
4471 "to quickly prototype design ideas. As musicians, artists, and designers, "
4472 "they needed a platform that didn’t require engineering expertise. A group of "
4473 "teachers and students, including Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, "
4474 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4475 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "
4476 "hardware, microcontrollers, and electronics. All aspects of the platform "

6802 "NoDerivs). This was seen as risky, as the biggest cost for publishers is "

6804 "online book for free, there would be no print-book sales at all, and the "
6805 "costs associated with getting the book to print would be lost. "
6806 "Surprisingly, Bloomsbury found that sales of the print versions of these "
6807 "books were 10 to 20 percent higher than normal. Frances found it intriguing "

7865 "Attribution (CC BY) license, which means people can download the icons for "
7866 "free and modify them and even use them commercially. The requirement to give "
7867 "attribution to the original creator ensures that the creator can build a "

7899 "The Noun Project first adopted a model whereby using an icon without giving "

7901 "subscription component, where there would be a monthly fee to access a "
7902 "certain number of icons—ten, fifty, a hundred, or five hundred. However, "
7903 "users didn’t like these hard-count options. They preferred to try out many "
7904 "similar icons to see which worked best before eventually choosing the one "
7905 "they wanted to use. So the Noun Project moved to an unlimited model, whereby "

7918 "be valuable in a lot of different contexts and that they couldn’t possibly "
7919 "know all of them in advance, so they built an API with a lot of "
7920 "flexibility. Knowing that most API applications would want to use the icons "
7921 "without giving attribution, the API was built with the aim of charging for "

9180 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9181 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9182 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9183 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9184 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "

9193 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9194 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9195 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9196 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9197 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9198 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9199 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9200 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9201 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9202 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "

9809 "in 2006, is an open-access peer-reviewed academic journal that is much "
9810 "larger than a traditional journal, publishing thousands of articles per year "
9811 "and benefiting from economies of scale. PLOS ONE has a broad scope, covering "
9812 "science and medicine as well as social sciences and the humanities. The "
9813 "review and editorial process is less subjective. Articles are accepted for "
9814 "publication based on whether they are technically sound rather than "
9815 "perceived importance or relevance. This is very important in the current "
9816 "debate about the integrity and reproducibility of research because negative "
9817 "or null results can then be published as well, which are generally rejected "
9818 "by traditional journals. PLOS ONE, like all the PLOS journals, is online "
9819 "only with no print version. PLOS passes on the financial savings accrued "
9820 "through economies of scale to researchers and the public by lowering the "
9821 "article-processing charges, which are below that of other journals. PLOS ONE "
9822 "is the biggest journal in the world and has really set the bar for "

9871 "Another adjustable practice is the sharing of articles at early preprint "

9873 "time because articles must undergo extensive peer review. The need to "
9874 "quickly circulate current results within a scientific community has led to a "
9875 "practice of distributing pre-print documents that have not yet undergone "
9876 "peer review. Preprints broaden the peer-review process, allowing authors to "
9877 "receive early feedback from a wide group of peers, which can help revise and "
9878 "prepare the article for submission. Offsetting the advantages of preprints "
9879 "are author concerns over ensuring their primacy of being first to come up "
9880 "with findings based on their research. Other researches may see findings the "
9881 "preprint author has not yet thought of. However, preprints help researchers "
