In the humanities, however, there has been a greater degree of skepticism as to the cross-applicability of the models deployed in scientific publishing and the argument continues to rage. In this talk, we detail the background to open access publishing more broadly in historical terms before sequentially evaluating the economic models, social strategies and areas of contention within the humanities subjects themselves. Speakers: Martin Eve and Caroline Edwards, Academic Project Directors, The Open Library of the Humanities: www.openlibhums.org"
