Join a live, online discussion with Peter Suber, a professor of philosophy at Earlham College and author of a blog and a newsletter on the open-access movement, about whether the push to make journal subscriptions free will revolutionize scientific publishing and save universities money, on Thursday, January 29, at 1 p.m., U.S. Eastern time. http://chronicle.com/colloquylive/2004/01/openaccess/
This live chat accompanies a long article I wrote on the topic, which appears in the Chronicle of Higher Education this week: "The Promise and Peril of Open Access" http://chronicle.com/free/v50/i21/21a01001.htm Two sidebars accompany the main article: "2 Routes to Open Access: Archives and Institutional Subscriptions" http://chronicle.com/free/v50/i21/21a01101.htm "Publishers Fear Government Intervention" http://chronicle.com/free/v50/i21/21a01201.htm I'd welcome feedback as well as questions and comments for the live chat on Thursday.
