- This is the home page for my book, Knowledge Unbound: Selected Writings on Open Access, 2002–2011 (MIT Press, 2016). — Peter Suber.
- Suggested short URL for this page = bit.ly/ku-book
About the book
- Also see the MIT Press page on the book.
- The book manuscript was submitted in 2011, at almost the same time as the manuscript for my shorter book, Open Access (the book) (MIT Press, 2012). We decided to publish the shorter book first and hold this collection until the shorter book had a chance to establish itself.
About this book home page
- I haven't yet decided how to use this book home page. I'm creating it now in order to let me decide later.
- However, I don't plan to add the kinds of extensive updates and supplements that I added to my earlier book, Open Access (the book) (MIT Press, 2012).
- Earlier in the planning for this collection, I was going to write a brief appendix of "second thoughts" for each article in the collection. But in the end we abandoned this idea. The second thoughts would enlarge the book enough to force us to drop several of the main articles. I might write some of those second thoughts here.
- The book only contains 44 articles. I might use this page to list the articles I like best that didn't make it into this collection, from before and during the 2002-2011 period, as well as afterwards when they couldn't even have been considered. Meantime, see this (nearly) complete list of my writings on OA.
