Future"of"Research"is"Interdisciplinary"

23. ! Commercialization: In the 1960s,
commercial publishers began acquiring top-
quality journals which were previously
published by nonprofit academic societies
! Market Domination: Large commercial
publishers dominate the market with high
profit margins while smaller publishers
operated with lower margins
! Serials Crisis: From the 1990s through the
2000s, prices for journals in certain areas
skyrocketed beyond the capacity of many
libraries or universities to keep up
Revolution of Scholarly Publishing
Open"Access"is"Only"a"Step"in"the"RevoluJon"
! Resulting Rise of Open Access: Due to the
proliferation of the Internet and rising journal
costs, Open Access, unrestricted online access
to peer-reviewed scholarly research, arose
Digitization
Open
Access
Failure of trust and abuse of power
provide fertile ground for backlash
against traditional publishing models
Individual
Users create content, consume content
and enhance content AND no longer
need legacy publishing systems
Failure of Trust: Publishers are seen as only
caring about their own bottom line - from
1986-2003, the serials subscription prices rose
215% while the Consumer Price Index rose 68%
during the same period
Internet allows for easier dissemination
of information throughout the world and
creates friction with legacy systems
