[open-archaeology] World Archaeology special issue

Thu Dec 6 12:03:09 UTC 2012

Thanks Ben,

but the 6 month T&F 'open access' is broadly IMHO an irrelevance. After 6 months the 'final prints' will be locked down (this has been exhaustively debated prior to the publication and is highly unlikely to change). We will not be able to post the final versions anywhere else. We can start to get something sorted out with the 'pre-prints'. This in its own right may provoke an interesting debate about access to archaeological discourse on something that has such broad ramifications as 'open archaeology'.

Originally, there was a deal with T&F
to make all papers in this issue available
as open access for the first 6 months.
Mark L. is looking into why this has not
yet happened. Let's give him some time to
clarify things with T&F. Then we can
discuss how to best make these contributions
available as open access in perpetuity.

Best,

Ben
