Science, skepticism, and open access data

The end of the open-access scientific web-publications is a sad thing. It denies the free-access sources, and the problem with that thing is that it would cause the scientific journals are turning unilateral. The problem with those publications, what is ending is that what if somebody mentions the articles of ending publications. Who is taking care of the archives of those magazines? The thing in the web publications is that the skills and level of those web-magazines are colorful. 

That means there are so-called pieces of jewelry but some web-magazines are politically colored, and that means that the people must be careful with the web publications. So how to make sure, that the scientific publications are involving valid information? The answer is that when somebody uses the web-publication as sources, they should try to find as many articles about the topics as possible. 

The scientific writer should not ever use only one source, and the source should be marked by using a link, that people can just find the source text from the net. This is the problem with so-called "normal people". They are just asking things from Google, and then click the first article what they see. And that thing benefits the publications, which name is beginning with a letter "A", and then they continue to read something else. So-called normal people are not interested in things like chicking the things, what is behind the articles. 

They are not checking many articles about some topics. There is introduced a list of the pseudoscientific articles, but the problem is who maintains that database? The fact is that science writers are using scientific methodology when they are writing about something. They are not using baseball bats and thumbscrews to forcing somebody to follow them. And they dare to see things, what are not supporting the opinions of themselves. When we are talking about skepticism that thing doesn't mean that everything is just denying or accepted. Skepticism means that person is always thinking, what might be the reason why somebody claims something. In this text, I will use the word "skepticism" for meaning "philosophical skepticism".

Many people are connecting skepticism to the UFOs or some other things, but the fact is that skeptics are the people, who are researching things before they are telling their opinions. Skepticist is estimating things by getting knowledge before they are giving answers to something. And they do not mention things, which are not relevant. The type of computer or the place, where those magazines are taken is something that has nothing to do with the topics. 

When somebody wants to check the facts about some writing, they should check many articles, what is in the different sources. The thing that makes the article trusted is that is published on the homepage of the trusted actor. And that actor should explain or otherwise show what kind of equipment is used in that kind of research. And then they might also mention what kind of places the research is made. 

The only use of multiple sources is guaranteed that the data should be right. And that is the problem with the open web publications. Almost everybody can create a thing, which might look very scientific. And how to recognize a person, who knows what they say or write? The fact is that qualified writers are introducing the way or the road of thoughts, how they get the solution. They are introducing a chain of thoughts, which made them believe something. So the solution is not introduced in the one word, and the second thing is that those people are not using some "power effects" like an attack against other writers by threatening them by violence or try to find something, which has nothing to do with the article.
