DIAMOND OPEN ACCESS AND OPEN PEER REVIEW: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF COPYRIGHT AND LIBRARIANS IN THE SUPPORT OF A SHIFT TOWARDS OPEN ACCESS IN THE LEGAL DOMAIN

The aim of this paper is to support initiatives that stimulate volunteer involvement in creating qualitatively good conversations about the law on the internet. The article's core argument is that policies on open access, copyright and library services all concentrate nowon the results of scholarly conversations, while a shift in focus towards the process of scholarly communication is needed to develop new incentives for a culture of sharing. Ways to foster openness in scholarly communication need to be discipline specific. This will be elaborated by discussing the plan for an open environment for collaboration on an English translation of a Dutch introduction to private law. Adapted from the source document.
