摘要

It is a brave man who decides to start a new university press in the current economic climate, so your Editor began by asking Bryn what the main driver was in deciding to set up the new press. “My library’s conviction that academic publishing hews to a broken and fundamentally perverse model” he replied, before continuing, “It is absurd for the academy to pay scholars to conduct research and produce manuscripts from that research, then to give away those manuscripts to for-profit publishers without compensation, and then to buy them back as books and journal subscriptions at exorbitant rates. No matter how wealthy an institution and how flush its library budget, there is no sensible reason to give away products and then buy them back.” He went on to explain that he feels that “… the system does far more to lock up information – to restrict scholarship to the well off – than it does to disseminate information. We work within a model that is bankrupting libraries and preventing most of the world’s populace from obtaining scholarship.”.
