Open Multimedia Publishing | From Open Access to Generally Openly Available

page_amanda's bookmarks 2016-01-21

Summary:

"Academic publishing is currently being turned upside down under the influence of the move to Open Access publishing. The big deals that universities traditionally made with journal publishers are not so certain anymore because governments want results of publicly funded research to be freely accessible to the larger public. At the same time, applied research has in the past decade become one of the central tasks of HBO institutions (Universities of Applied Sciences) in the Netherlands. However, the publication strategies of academic universities cannot be copied straightforwardly to applied research, which has an audience of professionals besides their audience of other researchers. Publishing in journals might serve researchers, but it does little to reach professionals."
