Publishing research in web-based learning: An interesting age

Abstract

Publications are a crucially important factor in our research. In recent months the traditional model of scholarly publishing has started to change with low-cost online publishing, open access and - most recently - data-sharing or open data. This keynote examines these changes and looks at the approaches that are being taken to optimise the new arrangements and some of the as yet unforeseen, and possibly undesirable, consequences. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
