Tomorrow at the Library: Changes in Scholarly Publishing and the Open Access Movement
Friday, Feb 2nd from 12-1pm at Koerner Library.
The scholarly communication system is going through a process of change across the world. Driven by the escalating costs of journal publication, a revolution in authoring and publishing as a result of new technologies, and a feeling that existing models restrict rather than encourage a free flow of information, scholars are re-evaluating the traditional scholarly publishing process in favour of a freer, open access model. This session will describe the building momentum for change in scholarly communication and how it is expressing itself in the Open Access Movement.
For a list of anthropology journals that have adopted the Open Access publishing model, please see the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) list of anthropology journals. Titles include Anthropoetics: the journal of generative anthropology, Cultural Analysis, and Oral Traditon, to name a very few.
