Re: [GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] Beyond open access - towards a sustainable knowledge commons

2017-10-26 Thread Vika Zafrin 

Dear Kathleen and all,

This is tremendous work! Thank you for sharing it.

Two other recent works come to mind, that might be interesting and 
relevant: Kathleen Fitzpatrick's blog post "The Commons and the Common 
Good," 
  
and Dan Cohen's recent talk "From Open Access to Maximal Access" 
 (the latter is 
currently available in audio only).


The five prerequisites made available by COAR are beautifully, concisely 
articulated, and I know we'll be using them in our work here at BU.

At COAR, we recognize that we need to go /_beyond_/ open access, to 
consider how to create an open and fair system for sharing research 
outcomes.


To that end, we have identified 5 prerequisite for a sustainable 
knowledge commons (see below)
