The Latest Issue Has Been Published (Vol. 29 No. 2, 2024) of Open Access Journal Research Information. This is the final will with professor Emeritus Tom Wilson nor editor in chief. He founded the Journal in 1995, and it a tribute to his hard work and inspiration that it remains a high Quality publication with no Charges for Eather Author or Reader.
He notes in his editorial
“I THOUGHT WHEN I STARTED THE JOURNAL THAT THE NEW TECHNOLOD BRING ABOUT MAJOR CHANGES IN THE SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING Arena: It was now postible for a single Academic, Like MySelf, to CREATE A NEW JOURNAL INDEPENDENTLY OF THE COMMERICAL PUBISHERS WHO DOMATED TO TUMATED, MUCH TO MUCH TO TUMATED, MUCH TUMAT. The Economic Costs of Academic Institutions.
“There are Are Obivious Reasons for this: On One Hand Academics have increasing teaching loads and pressures to research and publish, and the institutions are (at Laast in the uk)” Marketised and in Competition, with a reduction in the possessibillitis of cooperation. More Interesting in Preserving Their Publishing Industries Than in Genuine Freedom of Information. Authors and/orir institutions are required to pay? ”
