Alternative Publishing Models

Universities, publishers, professional societies and scholars are all experimenting with new forms of scholarly publishing. Alternatives to the traditional modes of scholarly communication have several advantages:

  • increased access to scholarly information
  • greater control of intellectual property
  • create a sustainable economic environment for libraries and publishers
  • retain peer review
  • make research available faster than traditional publications
  • may be accessed through indexes or web resources
  • are usually archived
You can help transform scholarly communication at UB by submitting your work to open access journals and repositories.
