Walt Crawford, writer/editor, Mountain View, California. [email protected]
Director/managing editor, PALINET Leadership Network--which includes a growing cluster of articles on open access.
Involvement with open access:
- Periodic articles on library access to scholarship in Cites & Insights (which would be gold OA if it was scholarly, but it isn't scholarly)
- "Research" on early free ejournals--those that began prior to 1995--resulting in two essays in Cites & Insights, one of which was republished by Learned Publishing (April 2002, "Free electronic refereed journals") (These manuscripts have been submitted for possible reworking into an OAD list.)
- Speech on open access, "Is free too expensive?," at the 2004 Charleston Conference.
Peter Suber has called me an "open access independent." I can live with that. (Stevan Harnad has called me much worse, and I can live with that too.)
My intention here is to correct typographical errors as I encounter them--and, of course, to publicize OAD as feasible.
