Abstract

A growing number of colleges and universities are requiring faculty to publish manuscripts accepted in peer-reviewed journals on their internal school websites in open access format so all of the articles would be available free to the public. This is exciting to anyone who wants to share knowledge and enhance the visibility of ideas, but mildly terrifying to publishers of scholarly journals. If people can get any article online for free, why would anyone pay to subscribe to a journal? This “disruption” is likely to cause some difficult transitions for faculty, colleges, and universities and publishers, as well as some innovation.
