At Last, a Good, Long Look at Open Access for the Humanities

juschuetze's bookmarks 2016-07-01

Summary:

As I opened Martin Paul Eve’s Open Access and the Humanities: Contexts, Controversies and the Future, I braced myself for a promotional pitch. I fully expected the book, published in 2014, to be a long-form justification and advertisement for Eve’s journal publishing initiative Open Library of Humanities (OLH), which launched in 2015 after several years of planning. (Granted, I am open to wooing, and am in fact already well wooed, by that ambitious and important project. But, like most academics, I am not amused by marketing materials masked as scholarship.)
