Lederberg is a scientist of high repute (a Nobel Prize in connection with the discovery of DNA) who has had special interest in the communicational dimension of science and regards the publication process, and the moral norms governing it, as of central importance in it: in short, an essentially Peircean conception of science, though derived from his own critical reflection on the practice of it. In this paper he addresses questions about the relationship of traditional publication practices to the new practices and possibilities on the internet.
