I write for free: the problem with academic publishing
I’m on the editorial board of a new journal, the first issue of which will be published in January 2009; the International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (IJISCRAM – snappy title, I know). I’ve also contributed an article to the first issue of the journal, and so a few weeks ago I received a copyright release form from the publishers of the journal.
It was only then that I realised just how much of a problem I have with this model of academic publishing.
