| Title: | Open access and academic reputation |
| Authors: | Willinsky, John |

| Abstract: | Open access aims to make knowledge freely
available to those who would make use of it. High-profile open access
journals, such as those published by PLoS
(Public Library of Science), have been able to demonstrate the viability of
this model
for increasing an author’s reach and reputation
within scholarly communication through the use of such bibliographic tools as
the Journal Impact Factor, conceived and
developed by Eugene Garfield. This article considers the various approaches
that
authors, journals, and funding agencies are
taking toward open access, as well as its effect on reputation for authors and,
more
widely, for journals and the
research enterprise itself. |
