Access vs. Accessibility in Scholarship and Science - The Scholarly Kitchen

lkfitz's bookmarks 2017-11-06

Summary:

"What all of this suggests is that it may not be useful to talk about making scholarship or science “more accessible” in generic terms. The degree to which it’s possible to make scholarship more accessible is going to vary by context and discipline, and where it is possible, the techniques that work will vary as well. In some disciplines and with some kinds of studies, it may be wise to change the way in which studies are written up; in others, it may be wise to leave the writing alone, but add a layer of explanation or summary. And some kinds of studies may resist effective or accurate simplification at all."
