It seems to me that scholars should naturally be more aware of the implications of closed vs. open publishing, given the current academic interest in social justice and the politics of reading. http://www.mediafiretorrent.com

A wonderful post; thank you. Your thoughts resonate well with Clay Shirky's ideas in his recent "thinking the unthinkable," and they're also aligned with efforts like umwblogs.org and others.

I discovered your post through a tweet, naturally.

Again, my thanks.

Thank you for this interesting blog! Often scholars talk about technological issues as if they were value-neutral. In fact, the system of learning, teaching, and communication that we construct actually shapes the knowledge that is created and shared. It seems to me that scholars should naturally be more aware of the implications of closed vs. open publishing, given the current academic interest in social justice and the politics of reading.

I have written about some of the same issues on my blog. http://hevel.org/category/open-access-scholarship/ Here is a link to a presentation I gave that is consonant with your approach as well: http://hevel.org/2009/03/open-access-journals-and-the-future-of-the-scholarly-community/

Thanks again.
