Publishing in Open Access Journals in the Social Sciences and Humanities: Who’s Doing it and Why?
Coonin – East Carolina
Younce Auburn (after May 18)
free access for all
authors pays ( 26% psychology .. and science) – DOAJ lists pay vs free ($100 Soc. Sci. -$5000 in Science)
peer review is at the heart
electronic is not OA
Culture of discipline
comfort of tenure (tenured more accept.)
Can Library encourage Faculty publ. in Open Access .. cost benefit to Library (but author pays)
smells a bit like vanity publ. to some
edge vs fringe (accepting – lagging in Soc. Sci and Humanities)
excellent survey and charts .. see Virtual Conf.
