9. ”Green Open Access”
Achieving Open Access through the self
archiving of peer-reviewed journal articles.
Different publishers have different policies on
deposition of articles.

14. The new arguments:
Open Access as key to innovation and economic growth
2010 Communication from the Commission on the
Innovation Union :
“In 2012, the Commission will propose a European
Research Area Framework and supporting measures
[...]. They will notably seek to ensure through a
common approach to [...] dissemination, transfer
and use of research results, including through open
access to publications and data from publicly funded
research”.
The Commission “[...]will promote open access to
the results of publicly funded research. It will aim to
make open access to publications the general
principle for projects funded by the EU research
Framework Programmes [...]”.
COM (2010) 546.
15. The changing landscape beyond academic publishing:
”living in a free world”
Chris Anderson – Free: The Future of a
Radical Price
16. The changing landscape beyond academic publishing:
”Wikinomics”
”A new kind of business is emerging –
one that opens its doors to the world, innovates
with everyone (especially customers), shares
resources that were previously
guarded, harnesses the power of mass
collaboration, and behaves not as a multinational
but as something new: a truly global firm.”
Don Tascott & Anthony D. Williams, Wikinomics. How mass
collaboration changes everything
17. Understanding knowledge
as a network (vs. property)
Knowledge as an
infrastructure
