Openism and freedom in academia EditVideo recording of James introducing the workshop and open academia (Blip.tv) ![]() Academia should be conducted in such a way as to benefit society. This means (among other things) that the processes and products of publically-funded academics' activities should, by default, be freely accessible and re-usable. It also means that academia should use and promote tools (such as software) and materials (such as textbooks) which enable others to utilise and foster public knowledge. However, open academia is a cultural challenge because closedness is the norm. Open academia is proposed to involve five pillars: open access, open licensing, open formats, free software and open management. ![]() For more, see Going naked - Openism and freedom in academia
