Open Access and Academic Reputation

ebook

Online reputation systems — including Amazon recommendations, eBay vendors' histories, and TripAdvisor ratings — serve as filters for information overload. In academia, reputation is the value that scholars have to offer, whether on the faculty job market or a journal's editorial board, as an expert witness, or as a reference for a colleague. In this BIT, John Willinsky discusses the effect that open access is having on reputation in academia and research publishing.
