Communities, Commoning, Open Access and the Humanities: An Interview with Martin Eve

Eve, Martin Paul and Lockett, Andrew (2021) Communities, Commoning, Open Access and the Humanities: An Interview with Martin Eve. Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture 16 (1), pp. 65-73.

Abstract

Leading open access publishing advocate and pioneer Professor Martin Paul Eve considers several topics in an interview with WPCC special issue editor Andrew Lockett. These include the merits of considering publishing in the context of commons theory and communing, digital platforms as creative and homogenous spaces, cosmolocalism, the work of intermediaries or boundary organisations and the differing needs of library communities. Eve is also asked to reflect on research culture, the academic prestige economy, the challenges facing the humanities, digital models in trade literature markets and current influences in terms of work in scholarly communications and recent academic literature. Central concerns that arise in the discussion are the importance of values and value for money in an environment shaped by increasing demands for policies determined by crude data monitoring that are less than fully thought through in terms of their impact and their implications for academics and their careers.
