Emergences 7

Open Access. From a Peripheral Phenomenon to the Leading Paradigm in Science Policy, Archive Practices, and Scientific Self-presentation

The reasons for the strengthening of Open-Access policies are manifold and range from economic reasons in the face of exploding prices in the area of print publications, to legal grounds and further to a not necessarily converted, but however intensified self-conception of researcher in self-management, for whom there is a vital need for quantitative, qualitative and, above all, swiftly absorbable publications that can be placed according to internal requirements.

The workshop (October 2008) discussed strategies of free accessibility and quick traceability, funding policies, and self-representation techniques.
