Abstract: This article analyzes online publishing models used by scholarly journal publishers across Canada. The sample described here is illustrative not only of most of the current and recent approaches to online scholarly publishing, but also of recent developments that may influence the next generation of innovators. It is argued that despite the perception that digitization often serves only to increase the torrent of information, some Canadian publishers have developed online processes and practices that use information technology not just to increase the quantity of information, but also its quality. Online scholarly publishing is in a period of dramatic change and these initiatives will set the standard for knowledge sharing. Résumé : Cet article analyse des modèles d’édition en ligne utilisés partout au Canada par les éditeurs de revues savantes. L’échantillon décrit ici illustre non seulement la plupart des approches actuelles et récentes en édition savante en ligne mais aussi des développements récents qui pourraient influencer la prochaine génération d’innovateurs. L’article soutient que, malgré la perception que souvent la numérisation sert seulement à alimenter un torrent excessif d’informations, certains éditeurs canadiens ont développé des processus et des pratiques en ligne qui utilisent les technologies non seulement pour augmenter la quantité d’information mais aussi sa qualité. L’édition savante en ligne subit une période de changements dramatiques et ces initiatives établiront un modèle pour le partage des connaissance.

Considering recent developments in the emerging field of academic ‘Sino-Christian Studies’ and drawing on analysis of interviews with Chinese scholars of Christianity now in their thirties, forties, and early fifties—the paper discusses generational differences among contemporary ‘Sino-Christian’ scholars with regard to questions of identity, academic disciplinary alignments, and thematic foci so as to highlight some of their contributions to contemporary discourses in the Chinese humanities and social sciences, their openness to marginal or controversial themes, and their inclusion of perspectives outside the academy.

A large part of the scholarly journal articles from the humanities and social sciences at Norwegian research institutions are published in a small number of national or common Nordic journals. Many of these journals are sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on the national or Nordic level. The institutions that mainly contribute to the contents of the journals are also the main subscribers. The journals can be made open to society with only marginal extra costs for the institutions themselves and the sponsor.
