lkfitz's bookmarks 2017-06-19

Summary:

"The present report pulls together all these strands into a narrative of the project’s diverse activities and the responses to it, particularly from the academic world, and attempts to give some pointers to what the academic book might evolve into in the future. A companion Policy Report (Jubb, 2017) looks in detail at the academic book from the perspectives of publishers, libraries and intermediaries, in particular analysing the policy implications of new developments in the funding and assessment regimes currently affecting academe, and the changes in publishing and libraries necessitated by the onward march of the digital, funding constraints, and the proposed shift towards open access for books submitted to the Research Excellence Framework."
