To my great excitement, my initial proposal for the forthcoming book, <a href="http://zombieacademy.wordpress.com/cfp/">Zombies in the Academy</a> has been accepted! While it still has to undergo peer review and as such isn't guaranteed to be published, I'll certainly be doing my best to overcome that hurdle.</p>
<p>If you are interested, you can read my <a href="http://www.martineve.com/Publications/Martin Paul Eve - The Botnet Webs of Hegemony-Zombies Who Publish Proposal.pdf">full proposal</a>. My chapter is entitled "The Botnet: Webs of Hegemony/Zombies Who Publish" and uses a metaphor from the information security arena to explain the constraints under which researchers, libraries and publishers are operating, for the most part against themselves. I intend, in the working-through of this piece, to theorize an economically viable model for a transition to an upfront-payment gratis-provision Open Access model through subsidized support for early-career researchers in order to effect a paradigm shift.</p>
<p>In the meantime: BRAINS!
