The non-inevitability of a global shift to OA, and a five-point manifesto for pluralism and diversity in scholcomm

  • 1.  The non-inevitability of a global shift to OA, and a five-point manifesto for pluralism and diversity in scholcomm

    Posted 20 days ago

    For those who might be interested, I have two posts up in the Scholarly Kitchen.

     

    Yesterday's presents evidence against the widely-held assumption that the scholarly communication ecosystem is headed towards a global transition to open scholarship.

     

    Today's presents a five-point "modest manifesto" for a scholcomm future characterized not by universal openness, but by pluralism and a diversity of publishing models.

     

    Comments welcome!
