Open Access to the communication system of science – Changing patterns of participation

A new project from Niels Taubert at the U of Bielefeld. "The project addresses the question of what kind of consequences the changing of the media has for the forms of participation in the communication system of science....The forms of participation of scientists who come from a country with a strong public funding (Germany) will be compared to those of scientists from a country with a developed system of disciplines but less resourceful funding (South Africa)."
