Hot Type: An Open Letter to Academic Publishers About Open Access – Technology – The Chronicle of Higher Education via kwout
Jennifer Howard closes here well written letter to publishers with asking:
You can lock up content, but you can’t close up a scholarly culture that’s more and more interested in openness. That culture won’t be satisfied with just being told that copyright is good and piracy is bad. Publishers, how will you adapt?
Howard also refers to the Academic Spring to relay the notion that the academy is ready for significant change when it comes to publishing. I sincerely hope so.
