A Faculty Forum, "Open Access Scholarly Publishing: Opportunities and Obstacles," on the open-access, Internet-first approach to scholarly publishing for higher education, will be held Wednesday, Dec. 11, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in Hollis Cornell Auditorium of Goldwin Smith Hall.
Participants will include six Cornell faculty members who are editors or other participants in well-known scholarly journals, along with one who has challenged traditional publishing by creating an online archive of research results. J. Robert Cooke, professor of biological and environmental engineering and dean of the faculty, will moderate.
The panelists include: Eberhard Bodenschatz, associate professor of physics and editor of Physica D and New Journal of Physics; R. Keith Dennis, professor of mathematics and executive editor, 1995-1998, of Mathematical Reviews; Paul Ginsparg, professor of physics and founder of the online physics, mathematics and computer science arXiv (now hosted by Cornell University Library); Joe Halpern, professor of computer science and editor in chief of Journal of the ACM; Karl Niklas, Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Plant Biology and editor in chief of American Journal of Botany; John Rowehl, managing editor of Philosophical Review (published by the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell); and Jeffrey Rusten, professor of classics and vice president for publications, American Philological Association.
The forum, free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by Cornell University Library.
