[Air-L] Elsevier and academia.edu

[Deborah Lupton]

As I'm sure discussants in Australia know, research funding bodies in
Australia have also begun to mandate and provide funds for the open access
publishing of materials produced from research they fund, including the two
major funding bodies. This has begun to change the culture in universities
here concerning open access. My university held at least two forums on open
access publishing this year in the attempt to inform academics about the
ins-and-outs of OA.
