The Lethbridge Journal Incubator: A new business model for Open Access journal publication

Feb 19, 20141 like3,357 views

The Lethbridge Journal Incubator proposes a new business model for open access publication in the humanities, linking journal production to university research and teaching to enhance funding and accessibility. This approach aims to train students and improve institutional support while addressing the challenges of maintaining quality and funding in open access publishing. The incubator model emphasizes the importance of scalability and could potentially extend its benefits to scientific research as well.

Business

Humanities and Open Access: Two
Understandings
●

“The Internet is Free”
–

–

No or ad hoc funding streams

–
●

Increase in the number of (relatively informal)
internet-based journals
Volunteer Professor labour

“Knowledge should be Free”
–

Pressure on Societies to release journals OA

–

But journals are major membership benefit

Good and bad
●

●

●

●

●

●

New journals = vibrancy
Desire for OA = sense that knowledge is/could be
important to public
But humanities ≠ practical
Little sense that lack of access to humanities research is
crippling
Paradox is that Humanities research seems intuitively
accessible but harder to make the case for funding access
Public needs to pay; but case needs to be made

Incubator is response
●

●

Method of funding Open Access publication of
humanities journals by aligning production with
the research and teaching methods of the
University
Turns production and publication of Humanities
research into training opportunity
–

Funding access becomes way of making
Humanities teaching and research more practical

Lessons learned
●

Still a publisher

●

Still require experts

●

Lowers quality (i.e. a disruptive technology)

Humanities only?
●

●

●

Sciences have more money and public more
willing to pay
Stronger sense that lack of access to research is
crippling
But APC introduces similar pressures
–
–

●

Itemises cost of publication as overhead
Emphasises lack of scalability

Only matter of time until there is pressure on cost

Humanities only?
●

Network of incubators transfers same benefits
to science education
–
–

Introduces scalability into APC

–
●

Increases training and scientific literacy
Already existing OA models set precedent

Not going to replace commercial publishers

This document discusses several unrelated topics including the growing popularity of architecture as a career, research conducted by graduate students, criticism of an online lecture platform, and different types of people categorized by their interests in making things, thinking of themselves as smart, or just buying things.

The document discusses important considerations for planning an incubator's infrastructure and services. It emphasizes conducting feasibility studies and creating a business plan to validate the need for an incubator and guide its development. Key factors that must be analyzed include the local environment, target clients, competition, and financial projections. The choice of a building is also important, as the location should support the incubator's operations and services. While adjustments may be needed, utilizing existing spaces can help control costs compared to new construction. Overall infrastructure and service offerings must be tailored to the defined goals and client base to help ensure the incubator's success and sustainability.

OA Week 2012 Miami U: How Open Scholarship is Changing ResearchWilliam Gunn

��

Open scholarship, like open source software, is changing research by making it more collaborative, efficient and sustainable. It allows research to be openly accessible and debugged more easily. Studies show much published research is not reproducible. Open scholarship provides more stakeholders and public support while potentially decreasing costs and barriers to entry over time. Sustainability models include professional services, crowdfunding and leveraging economies of scale since costs of publishing are much lower than current commercial publishers charge. The future of research is in our hands to support open access options and alternatives to impact factors.

The document discusses lockouts and strikes in the context of post-secondary labor negotiations in Alberta. It notes that while a lockout or strike is unlikely given the history of good labor relations, members should still understand the processes and timelines involved to be prepared. Specifically: - Lockouts and strikes require extensive notification periods, mediation, and approval processes before occurring. - The earliest a job action could happen is late fall 2018, and it would require a significant deterioration in relations between the union and employer over months. - The union has been building a lockout/strike fund for two years to provide members with average strike pay of $160 per day for four weeks if needed, supplemented by other supports

The document discusses how technological changes present both opportunities and challenges for the humanities. While the humanities are more relevant than ever with larger audiences and more data, traditional funding and perceptions of the field are challenges. However, the digital age allows humanists to engage broader audiences, work with more materials, and develop new forms of communication. To take advantage of these opportunities, humanists must change how they teach, collaborate, and work by embracing new digital tools and interdisciplinary partnerships. While an adjustment, embracing technology can help the humanities thrive in the information age rather than just survive.

Zero-emission zones in the Netherlands 2025Walther Ploos van Amstel

��

Since 2014, the Netherlands has worked toward more sustainable urban logistics through the Green Deal Zero Emission City Logistics. Early years focused on local pilot projects—such as city hubs, electric vehicles, and water transport—designed as ”living labs” to explore and learn. Following the 2019 Climate Agreement, the ambition increased: by 2025, 30 to 40 major municipalities aim to establish zero-emission zones, where only fully electric trucks and vans may operate. As of January 2025, 14 cities have implemented such zones, banning vehicles with Euro 4 or lower emission standards. By 2030, only zero-emission vehicles will be permitted. The rollout raises important questions: Which transitions are smooth? Where are the main challenges, and who is most affected? Are issues local or widespread? How are small and large companies affected differently? Researchers play a vital role in evaluating these developments, sharing insights, and supporting a just and effective transition to zero-emission city logistics. Walther Ploos van Amstel.
