Boice, Kristin (2008) Open Access, Libraries, and the Future of Scholarly Publishing
(déposé sur dLIST, 05/11/08)

"Running scholarly presses as profit centers is becoming increasingly unsustainable as many are barely able to stay solvent in today’s market economy. Under increasing financial pressures university presses are creating a bottleneck for the publishing of scholarly articles, making less of it available more slowly. By restricting access and limiting outlets for publication, today’s commercially structured scholarly publishing system runs counter to the aims of scholarly publishing—to circulate discourse and research findings through academic institutions and into the world. The open access movement is one response to a general failure of the for-profit scholarly publishing system. This paper looks at what it would mean to reconfigure scholarly publishing away from commerce and toward an open access model, and the potential role of libraries within an open access publishing system."

A propos de la diffusion de la recherche "non traditionnelle"

Heterodox Economics and Dissemination of Research through the Internet: the Experience of RePEc and NEP
(source: University of Connecticut, Department of Economics / via OAN)

"We study how the democratization of the diffusion of research through the Internet could have helped non traditional fields of research. The specific case we approach is Heterodox Economics as its pre-prints are disseminated through NEP, the email alert service of RePEc. Comparing heterodox and mainstream papers, we find that heterodox ones are quite systematically more downloaded, and particularly so when considering downloads per subscriber. We conclude that the Internet definitely helps heterodox research, also because other researcher get exposed to it. But there is still room for more participation by heterodox researchers."

[Revue] Mouvements sociaux

noreply@ (pintini) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:03:45 +0200

Interface: a journal for and about social movements: une nouvelle revue en peer-review et en libre accès.

"The development and increased visibility of social movements in the last few years, has made it clear just how much knowledge movements generate. This knowledge is generated across the globe, and in many contexts and a variety of ways.
We are activists from different movements and different countries, researchers working with movements, and progressive academics from various countries. We have been involved in many different projects to support and develop the recent knowledge generation processes around contemporary social movements. Through this work we have come to recognise how much we stand to learn from each other – from the specific experiences of movements, from the languages that have been developed within and around different movements, and from different places and times."

[Livre] Opening Up Education

noreply@ (pintini) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 21:22:59 +0200

Opening Up Education. The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge (Toru Iiyoshi, M. S. Vijay Kumar, éd., The MIT Press, 2008)

"The world becomes more complex and interconnected at a lightning-fast pace, and almost every serious social issue requires an engaged public that is not only traditionally literate, but adept in a new, systemic literacy. This new literacy requires an understanding of different kinds of feedback systems, exponential processes, the unintended consequences inherent in evolving social systems, etcetera. In addition, the unrelenting velocity of change means that many of our skills have a shorter shelf life, suggesting that much of our learning will need to take place outside of traditional school and university environments. It is also unlikely that sufﬁ cient resources will be available to build enough new campuses to meet the growing demand for higher education, at least not the sort of campuses we have traditionally built for colleges and universities. Nor is it likely that current methods of teaching and learning will sufﬁce to prepare students for the lives they will lead in the twenty-ﬁrst century."
