Two weeks ago at the bottom of my post, Trends, I began to explore the issues of self-publishing in a most elementary fashion. Stephen Ramsay’s Open Access Publishing and Scholarly Values (part two) and the extensive comments following his post explosively catapult this conversation into the academic realm–worthy of serious consideration and a good model of healthy debate. And just so the central contributers seem real (think Velveteen Rabbit):
Stephen Ramsay
VS.
- Andrew Stauffer
Don’t miss the very cool NINES Project: Nineteenth-Century Scholarship Online that Dr. Stauffer directs and the Center for Digital Research where Dr. Ramsay is a Fellow.
Great post! I went to check out the NINES Project and found I’ve already been to the Cather Archive to do research for one of the papers I’m writing this semester.
