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 journals in linguistics that have adopted the Open Access publishing model, please see the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) list of Linguistics journals. Journals include the Journal of Intercultural Communication, the Bilingual Research Journal, and the Estudios de linguistica del espanol to name a very few.
