Open Students, a site devoted to issues of interest to emerging scholars, premiered earlier this year. It is produced by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, and led by Gavin Baker, a 2007 graduate of the University of Florida. The site discusses fair use of academic works in dissertations, the cost of subscription and pay per view access to scholarly literature, the potential of open access and self-archiving, and what students can do to improve the scholarly publishing system.
Open Students welcomes submissions from guest bloggers.
