This month marks the 10th anniversary of +Peter Suber's 2004 article on promoting OA in the humanities - and boy, is it still a good read
Still promoting open access in the humanities.
This month marks the 10th anniversary of my 2004 article on promoting OA in the humanities.
http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:4729720
I'm posting this note in part because I still stand by the conclusions -- nine reasons why OA is moving more slowly in the humanities than in the sciences, and ten recommendations for speeding it up. But I'm also hoping that it will counter some of the oversimplifications and misrepresentations still clogging the debate. A surprising number of humanists who express reservations about OA make careless, false assumptions about it, for example, that all or most OA is delivered by OA journals, that all or most OA journals charge publication fees, that all or most publication fees are paid by authors, and that all or most OA policies apply to books.
Some of these misunderstandings are new and I didn't address them ten years ago. But some are venerable and I did. Any attention to the actual OA options for scholars, and the actual terms of OA policies, should help refocus discussion on which disciplinary differences actually make difference for progress toward OA.
