Open Access for Legal Scholarship

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | December 18, 2006 - 13:29

Self publishing used to carry a negative connotation – the concept of using a “vanity” press aptly captures the idea – but in today’s scholarship arena, self publishing signifies the new frontier. Whether posted on individual web pages or archived in institutional repositories, open access scholarship made available to the world without the barriers of subscription or access fees disseminates knowledge broadly, efficiently and freely. Carol Parker writes about the implications of open access initiatives for law schools and legal scholars in Institutional Repositories and the Principle of Open Access: Changing the Way We Think About Legal Scholarship, available at SSRN’s http://ssrn.com/abstract=928489 and bepress’s http://law.bepress.com/expresso/eps/1705 , soon to be published also in the New Mexico Law Review.
