Scholarly Journals And The Open Access Conundrum, Colin B. Sakumoto

Colin B Sakumoto

This paper examines the desirability and feasibility of open access scholarly journals with particular emphasis on the parties shaping the production of these journals. In examining how the current publishing model will shape the implementation of open access publishing, analysis of the obstacles likely to hinder implementation is given in depth. Finally, a number of measures are suggested to help build the momentum needed to one day realize a widespread open access publishing model.
