Latest revision as of 14:26, 12 August 2024
I've written a lot over the years about open access (OA) to research. This bibliography of my writings on OA focuses less on news and more on commentary and analysis — pieces that might still be of interest. It includes books, newsletter essays, journal articles, preprints, and interviews. I omit pure news pieces, as well as minor pieces like blog posts, listserv messages, presentation slides, small web pages, and most letters to editors. I plan to keep it up to date. — Peter Suber.
- Suggested short URL for this page = bit.ly/suber-oa-writings.
- This version of the list (started August 2013) supersedes an earlier version.
- For my work on topics other than open access, see my separate list of writings.
- Originally I included interviews on this list only when they were writings. But after a while that seemed arbitrary and I began including video and podcast interviews as well. As a result, the list is now more complete even if the title is less accurate.
- My ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is 0000-0002-3577-2890. Most of the works below appeared before ORCID existed. But I support ORCID and include my ID here to help associate it with my writings.
