4. Fair Warning: I’m Biased!

5. The Comics Grid:
Journal of Comics Scholarship
http://www.comicsgrid.com/

6. The Comics Grid
• Born Digital
• Digital Media Specific (To be read on screens)
• Open Access
• International
• Collaborative
• Rapid Publication
• Submissions and Open Peer Review via Google Docs
• Articles are Peer Reviewed Openly
• Blog-based, includes blog section, blog posts proof-read by two
editors
• Reputation by innovation, openness, engagement and
collaboration, not by rejection rate
• Becoming Gold Open Access Journal late May 2013, to be published
by Ubiquity Press

7. The State of the Party
• For better or worse, the Web is the primary
gateway to information search and access
• What is not accessed is not used
• In the Web, friction reduces attention and
usage
• Paradigm shift in the attention economy and
the economics of online attention: if there’s a
paywall you will jump over it without paying

8. What We Need to Bring to the Party…
• We need more honesty in why academic work
is published in non-OA journals that are
expensive, restrictive and difficult to find
• We need scholars form arts, humanities and
social sciences fields to engage in a critical
revision of copyright, lincensing, functions of
academic publishing

9. Digital Scholarship
Scholars engaged in digital scholarship:
• have advanced digital literacy skills
• self-archive
• filter and share with others
• blog about their research
• publish in open access journals
• comment openly on the works of others
•build networks
(After Terry Anderson, 2009; Martin Weller, 2011)
• Scholars ask: all cool, but who rewards/incentivises/funds all
this?

10. Scholarly Outputs (Cronin 2012)
From 1970:
• Working paper
• Occasional paper
• Preprint
• Conference paper
• Journal article
• Letters
• Research notes
• Monograph
• Book review
• Literature review
From 2010:
• Same as 1970 plus…Journal
article and supplementary
materials
• Hyperlinked articles
• Tweets
• Blogs
• Videos (YouTube)
• E-preprints
• Webpages
• Webinars/podcasts etc.

11. Scholarship Needs Sharing
• No longer completely different tasks
• The harder it is to find something, the harder it is
to access it
• The harder it is to access something, the harder it
is to find an audience
• The harder it is to find an audience, the harder it
is to create sustainable engagement
• The harder it is to create sustainable
engagement, the harder it is to have an impact

12. Scholarship Needs Sharing
• If it can’t be accessed, it won’t be read
• If it can’t be read, it won’t be cited
• Sharing/Citation/attribution is the essence of
ethical, professional scholarship
• Since (sadly) not everyone does it naturally, a
framework of incentives/rewards needs to
allocate financial, legal, infrastructural, time
resources for this

13. World Wide Web:
Not Wild Wild West!
• Digital media unsettles/disrupts previous
conceptions of
authority, originality, ownership, derivation,
copy, piracy
• A digital file is always-already a copy
• People who plagiarise will plagiarise no
matter what.
• “All Rights Reserved” does not stop
plagiarism.

14. World Wide Web:
Not Wild Wild West!
• Digital textuality is always-already made possible by
source code
• CC Licensing is a way of developing a culture that
understands the specificities of digital content and
promotes reuse, collaboration, reciprocity and ethical
behaviour like proper attribution of sources.
• CC Licenses can not prevent plagiarism either, but it
helps develop a culture of ethical online sharing and it
is legally enforceable if need be.
• CC Licensing is not opposed to Copyright; it
complements it.

16. http://creativecommons.org/
In a world based in sharing and
reusing, attribution, reciprocity and feedback
are key best practices

17. Fear Deters Innovation!
• Some of the anxieties about Open Access right
now are around Intellectual
property, plagiarism, copyright law in the
digital age.
• We need to study and communicate better
how existing legal frameworks interact with
existing Creative Commons licenses and
institutional funding and publisher’s policies.

21. “Non-explicit Closed-ness”
• PDFs with all restrictions in place (no printing, no
copy/paste, no metadata, blocked for web crawlers)
• “Free for you”: Non-explicit costs in accessing paid-
subscription journals from an institutional
account/device/network
• Educational Resources shared in closed PDF
formats, deck of slides shared-but-not-really-
shared, not allowing downloads, closing
comments, not engaging, not listening, not
replying, etc.

22. And very explicit closedness…

27. Symbiosis: “a world-building tool-kit”
“inside of every consumer is a creator.”
“readers become co-authors”
“Take what I'm making, build on it, play
with it, impress us all with what you
can do. ”

“Commercial license will be easily
granted with an affordable licensing
agreement. If the project is small (i.e.
It's not for a corporation or an LLC) I'll
likely not ask for any cut or fee at all.”
