Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-11-14
Summary:
"Once faculty members write, submit and have articles published in magazines or journals, copyright is transferred from the author to the publication. This restricts readership to those with access to that specific publication.
But with Open Access, that is changing.
"Open Access is a principle-based movement, largely driven by university professors and librarians, to transform academic publishing so that everyone — not just those affiliated with wealthy institutions — has access to high-quality information found in academic publications," explains Mark Bilby, scholarly communications librarian, who recently discussed Open Access, the facts vs. the myths, before the Academic Senate."
