Dear all, in another thread Doug Yanega said
 
"Given that 
no one should be doing taxonomy without access to the original 
literature, requiring that an author transcribe the pertinent data into 
ZooBank is not adding very much to their overall effort."
 
leads me to ask, should open access and online by a requirement of the next code of zoological nomenclature?
 
I know it would muck up the "business models" of certain journals, but what does everyone else here think?
 
All the best
