Abstract
Too Long; Didn't Read: The Case for Academic Zines
Highlights
There are many ingrained issues in traditional academic publishing, including writing, editing, and reviewing for free; the lack of open access journals, and the high cost of journal subscriptions for institutional libraries
Academic zines are a refreshing way to share knowledge broadly, and are well-suited for community-based projects, research that tells a narrative, or explaining something that people could apply to their lives (Creasap, 2014; Tkach & Hank, 2014; Stanley, 2015)
All art has remained the property of the artist co-researchers; digital copies of photos, videos, and songs remain in a Moving Home archive
Summary
There are many ingrained issues in traditional academic publishing, including writing, editing, and reviewing for free; the lack (until recently) of open access journals, and the high cost of journal subscriptions for institutional libraries. Academic zines are a refreshing way to share knowledge broadly, and are well-suited for community-based projects, research that tells a narrative, or explaining something that people could apply to their lives (Creasap, 2014; Tkach & Hank, 2014; Stanley, 2015). In the academic publishing process the people the research is done with (or on) are rarely included, and many research participants are not connected with or even interested in the article output.
