Congratulations to Deborah Finfgeld-Connett, who recently published an article via open access, joining the growing ranks of MU authors who are reinventing academic publishing, one article at a time.
Making their articles available via open access is the best defense the academic community has against out of control journal price increases, and we salute Deborah and other MU authors for leading the way.
By paying a fee up front, they made their article available instantly to everybody on the web – no paywalls or subscriptions required. In most cases, they also retain ownership of their work, and don’t have to sign over their rights to the publisher.
