In this edition of Perspectives, Reid Cornwell discusses open-access publishing with Peter Suber, senior researcher at the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, senior research professor of philosophy at Earlham College, and currently visiting fellow at Yale Law School. Open access means that scholarly work is freely and openly available online with no unnecessary licensing, copyright, or subscription restrictions. Cornwell and Suber discuss the development of the open-access movement over the past decade and the implications of the growing acceptance of open access for scholars and for publishers.
