Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

I cannot cite specific examples of works published OA and then badly translated. However, I do know of instances where books we published at Penn State Press were licensed to foreign publishers that then proceeded to have them translated, and in some of these cases our authors did not like the

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

I was talking about Professors, not Presses. The AUP, as it is now called, no longer the AAUP, has no statement about academic freedom per se, but of course has spoken out on many occasions about free speech as it affects publishing. (I myself served on the AAP's Freedom to Read Committee for

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

Hi all, I'll discuss here two major issues discussed in this thread: the freedom (1) in the choice of journals in which to publish and (2) in the choice of a user licence when publishing. I don't think it's very useful to discuss these issues on the basis of what exactly does - or don't -

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

Hi all, I would very much welcome a concrete example (or two..) of the scenario described below where a work has been taken and distorted to the extent an author would actually wish to have their name removed as an originator of the work. It is a scenario often used by people concerned about

Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] On Academic Freedom

The Canadian Association of University Teachers' policy statement on academic freedom section 5 addresses academic governance, that is, academic staff should have a major role in governance in all matters pertaining to academic work, i.e. curriculum, tenure and promotion:
