LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 hour, 15 minutes ago
Hi, Nancy,
Thanks for bringing this important question to this list! I suspect there is a lot of overlap, you might also try the list for Academic Works Coordinators at ACADEMICWORKS@listserv.cuny.edu. 🙂
As you know, once a student’s work is made public, it changes the nature of that work and classifies as “published” for the purposes of the…[Read more]

LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 hour, 26 minutes ago

Jill Cirasella replied to the topic Wiley acquires Hindawi in the forum
LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 week, 3 days ago

Megan Wacha started the topic Wiley acquires Hindawi in the forum
LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 week, 3 days ago
Dear fellow ScholCommies,
Wiley has just announced that it’s acquired Hindawi, a publisher originally based out of Egypt that has been an important player in the open access ecosystem. It’s troubling to see further commercial consolidation in this market, one which SPARC’s Heather Joseph notes as “eerily reminiscent of the pattern of mergers and…[Read more]

Stephen Klein replied to the topic Elsevier signs DORA, moves to make citations openly available in the forum
LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 4 weeks, 1 day ago
​Good press for Elsevier​ because the OA movement has truly become ubiquitous and the low cost of bread-crumbing of citation data will eventually lead to an appetite for full-text?
