Open Access Week 2011: A Short History of Open Access

Access to information is a basic human right.

Free exchange of scientific information forms the basis for economic, cultural, social and scientific development. Unfortunately the free exchange of information is severely compromised by the restricted access model of scientific publishers and the dependency of scientists on the publication of results in high impact restricted access journals.

 

This year the week of 24-30th of October is…

In my third post in the series of posts, celebrating this year's open access week, I take a look into the issue of guerilla open access and why I do not think this is the panacea we are looking for.

Make hay when the sun shines!

Not everything is peachy in the world of Open Access publication, and in this next post, I tackle the issue of predatory open access. I have kept it short intentionally mainly because the issue is not something I want too many people to get too suspicious about and hence send out a wrong impression about the whole deal of Open Access. But, at the same time, I want everyone to be aware of what they are getting themselves into and not get duped by posers who are setting the open access…
