note: Author - Gavin Baker, "Open Access Journal Literature is an Open Educational Resource". Originally submitted September 5th, 2007 to the OSS and OER in Education Series, Terra Incognita blog (Penn State World Campus), edited by Ken Udas.
In addition to FOSS and OERs, there is another phenomenon which is having a marked impact on education - in particular, on higher education. This movement shares a similar philosophy, focuses on making content available online gratis, uses open copyright licenses, and most of the noteworthy software used by the movement is FOSS. I'm writing about the movement for open access to peer-reviewed scholarly journal literature.
Advocates of OERs should seek to understand the open access movement - not only out of curiosity over the linkages or similarities between the two movements (and there are many) but because, as I will argue, free education needs free scholarship.
(Readers already familiar with OA may wish to skip ahead to the section entitled “Why free education needs free scholarship (Section: Why free education needs free scholarship)”.)
