	The Chronicle: 6/17/2005: Survival Strategies for Academic Publishing
		To understand the problems of academic publishers today, we have to see that their current predicament is the outcome of a long process of development that stretches back to the 1970s and before.
		Publishers listened carefully to the gatekeepers because they needed their adoptions to survive, but they didn't pay much attention to students because they assumed that students would buy what they were told to buy.
		They depend on the presses to publish their work, to maintain the vitality of their disciplines, and to lubricate the processes of recruitment, tenure, and promotion; and yet they generally know precious little about the forces driving presses to act in ways that are sometimes at odds with the aims and priorities of academics.

	Academic publishing - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In publishing, STM publishing is an abbreviation for academic publications in science, technology, and medicine.
		In many fields, such as literature and history, several published articles are typically required for a first tenure-track job, and a published or forthcoming book is now often required before tenure.
		Some scholars have called for a publication subvention of a few thousand dollars to be associated with each graduate student fellowship or new tenure-track hire, in order to alleviate the financial pressure on journals.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| higher news \| Shake-up for academic publishing
		Faced with the escalating cost of journals for academic libraries, the House of Commons science and technology committee is urging all UK universities to set up their own repositories to store their published research and make it available online free of charge.
		Publishers have denounced the "author pays" model as "vanity publishing", but the MPs were evidently unconvinced by their opposition and said further trials were needed to see if it worked, and in particular whether there was any adverse effect on learned societies, which are subsidised by their journals.
		Academic libraries were struggling to purchase subscriptions to all the journal titles needed by their users, said the Commons report, Scientific publications: free for all?, published today.

	ALISS:FYTTON
		I would define academic publications as published materials, in whatever medium, that are not primarily pedagogic in their purpose, and the content of which assumes a level of background knowledge of their subject such that only a university graduate in that subject could reasonably be expected to understand them fully.
		There are an enormous number of very small non-profit publishers of academic material, and this presents a problem when technological; innovation is required; these small organisations lack both the financial capital and the knowledge to convert their journals to electronic form.
		Publishers have never provided archival access to their publications; once they are out of print and no copies are left in the warehouse, the only place to get a copy is from a library.

	Cyberspace as an Academic Publishing Medium
		Nonetheless, one issue in transferring academic standards to cyberspace will be where to draw the line between media so as to establish a workable relationship among their contents.
		For academic purposes cyberspace will likely be seen as consisting of an increasing number of media, and the articulation of their interoperability will bear on the enduring value of their contents.
		Electronic literary magazine B at a state college published my articles in the series they requested as quickly as the day after submission, then added graphic embellishments and changes over time that would not have been possible with a print magazine.

	Scott Sommers' Taiwan Weblog : Academic Publishing and the SSCI
		As I have said elsewhere, publishing in the SSCI is increasingly becoming a standard for academic promotion at Taiwan's universities.
		When I informed her that an SSCI journal would be unlikely to publish research of this nature (particularly since it was unlikely to yield positive results), she because extremely distraught.
		The goal of publishing in the West is not primarily to publish in 'prestigious' journals.

	Feature Article - The Damocles Sword of Academic Publishing
		Publishing is important not just because it enhances the possibility of employment, but also because it increases understanding of the publishing process.
		To examine whether students just publish in journals and conferences outside of the field, or in outlets that are extremely easy to gain acceptance to, the student publications were cross-referenced against a ranking of journals and conferences in the MIS field.
		If we accept Ralston's notion that students are publishing more and earlier than was once expected, the question becomes whether students are getting better at publishing and do more interesting research, or whether the conferences and journals available have lowered the standards necessary to publish.

	Centennial Review (Winter 1992) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Until recently, academics have used these networks primarily for informal discussion; now several electronic journals are appearing on the networks, in science, business management, the humanities, and the social sciences, and there has been a virtual explosion of electronic newsletters and discussion groups over the last few years.
		Existing practices are sure to affect the way academic writing develops in the arena of networked electronic publishing, just as the integration of electronic publishing into those practices has the potential to alter the way we think about intellectual property, peer review, professional advancement, the function of the library, and the status of the text.
		The legitimacy of scholarly publishing is a matter of the peer-review process and not a function of the medium in which peer-reviewed work is distributed.

	JEP: The Guild Model
		A publication is useful for academic career advancement, enhances the prestige of the author (and even the department of the author), is examined in grant funding, and increases the credibility of the author in the field.
		The legitimacy of research manuscripts published via the GPM is conveyed as a function of the reputation of the sponsoring organization and of the entry barriers to membership in the organization (which are also usually correlated themselves).
		Compatibility with other publishing models: As we discussed in the section on the publishing continuum, we believe that the virtues of the existing journal system should not be discarded or undermined in a rush to electronic, anarchic self-publishing.

		She will be answering questions today about the uses that fair use can be put to in an academic setting, and she will also discuss a few ideas that she has been kicking around about how scholars and academic presses might assert fair use provisions of copyright law in a more active fashion.
		I agree that academics may be better served by wide dissemination of their works than by the "exclusive rights" copyright permits them to assert.
		As an academic librarian, I've been teaching about proper citation styles, plagiarism, copyright and fair use for over 30 years and I must tell you that many (most?) students think all these rules and nuances about the proper use of information are stupid and that we've made them up just to complicate their lives.

	CM2000 Article: Stephen Harnas et al.
		Academic authors who publish more are paid more, and part of the motivation for academic publishing is the prospect of academic advancement and higher salaries.
		The real difference between the economics of academic and trade publishing is not due to having an entirely different set of motivations as you claim, but rather in the nature of the academic research process.
		Academic articles are both an input to research and an output of research, which is rather different from trade publications.

		They are using electronic publishing as a way to disseminate and deliver, but generally, they are disseminating and delivering things that are rather strongly rooted in print.
		CL: We are starting in the last year or so to see some publishers becoming more engaged in these new media developments, and we are beginning to see institutions stepping up to some of these stewardship and preservation issues through the development of new institutional repositories as services to their university communities.
		It is much easier to feel comfortable with a tenure or promotion candidate who has published in a well-established journal, especially when you don't know that person's field as your own—so, reliance on the traditional publications tends to get reinforced.

	The Deconstructed Journal - a new model for Academic Publishing
		Three 'insights' are described, the first is into the 'means/end' confusion of much current net-based publishing activity, the second is that it is the purpose, not the form, that is the important aspect of the traditional STM journal model, and the third is that satisfactory net-based publishing models need not contain a central publisher.
		Savenije (1997) argues an opening case similar in some ways to mine but his analysis of the publisher and/or journal roles is too simplified and his suggested model is focussed mainly on possible roles for the library.
		Although the ACM Electronic Publishing Plan, (ACM, 1995), is a list of assumptions, goals and proposed actions needed to move towards e-publishing, rather than an explicit description of an e-publishing model, it does contain an implicit model.

	Future of academic publishing on the Web
		Academics have always had much more opportunity to write than they've had sponsorship for publication so books and articles have had to be concisely focused-- optimised-- to deliver the most information using the fewest words.
		In fact, in a few years I expect the standard practice for academics will be to do all their editing online, because their readers will be gaining a benefit even from the rough drafts, and the authors will gain a great benefit from their feedback.
		The psychological impact of this for academic authors is enormous-- anyone bold enough to do so can now throw their every thought out onto the Web, instead of having to review and censor and doublecheck everything.
