Description:The Internet lets us share perfect copies of our work with a worldwide audience at virtually no cost. We take advantage of this revolutionary opportunity when we make our work "open access" digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent, and many authors, musicians, filmmakers, and other creators who depend on royalties are understandably unwilling to give their consent. But for 350 years, scholars have written peer-reviewed journal articles for impact, not for money, and are free to consent to open access without losing revenue.In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and isn't, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of Suber's influential writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders, publishers, and policy makers.ContentsSeries Foreword viiPreface ix1 What Is Open Access? 12 Motivation 293 Varieties 494 Policies 775 Scope 976 Copyright 1257 Economics 1338 Casualties 1499 Future 16310 Self-Help 169Glossary 175Notes 177Additional Resources 219Index 223We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
