Future"of"Research"is"Interdisciplinary"
! 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
