[Lingtyp] Ethnologue goes for paid access?

[Everett, Daniel]

The differences between private and public universities wrt research availability are largely negligible. Think Harvard and Stanford, for ex.

I take it that means: "No, it is not true that private universities are making their research less accessible".

That seems to be the first point of concern here. The second one being "does other motives than research itself impact research negatively", which I guess can be asked in regards to SIL International with respect to religion and potentially to other research bodies with respect to other motives. But, I don't think that's what this thread is about actually.

In an attempt to link back to SIL and Ethnologue (from another topic that I initiated, I do realise): is the core issue that we are worried with here that SIL International are making their research less accessible (funding sources and faith being irrelevant), and is this in fact also true of private universities in the US?

That's right Matthew. 20-30 years ago money could be and was wasted. Now that states are allocating less to higher ed more care must be given.
