Editor's Notes
Open Access and other open movements have advocates and they feel strongly about these causes. Like the patriots of the American Revolution, they feel that publishing is broken and only radical change can create change in the system.
Scholars, though, also care about the impact of their work, not just how it is published. The Open movement has created more metrics and groups like altmetrics.org that advocate for weblinks, bookmarks and online conversations on research to help measure impact for tenure and promotion decisions.
Open tools have also created a way for people to share content online. This picture shows the many different ways you can create and share content with your peers. More tools are appearing daily.
