I have recently had the privilege of being appointed Editor-in-Chief of this very exciting and innovative Open Access Journal, and hereby extend a warm welcome to everyone as we launch Astronomy Studies Development, which will seek to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, original manuscripts in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics, though with a particular focus on mathematical techniques and methodology and innovative ideas for instrumental development and modeling in astronomy and astrophysics. The journal will also seek to publish simulations in all areas, including cosmology, particle astrophysics, accretion, and diffuse media. Our journal will include both full length research articles and letter articles, and its coverage extends over solar, stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy and astrophysics, and will report original research in all wavelength bands. Astronomy and Astrophysics are rather mature disciplines, with a history of quality journals over the past century or more. So one may reasonably ask why a new journal such as this is needed. Obviously, I myself have answered this question in the affirmative. After a long career in research and publishing, I have the perspective to provide several good reasons for helping to promote the evolution of publishing in Astronomy and Astrophysics to a place more in line with present technology..........

It makes sense to discuss the history of copyright before open access. This chapter will establish the background for context. In order to understand the significance of open access repositories, it would be reasonable to be aware of the relevant debate. Therefore, it is necessary to trace the historical development of the concept of copyright as a property right. The continued relevance of the rationales for copyright interests, both philosophical and pragmatic, will be assessed in the contemporary times of digital publishing.

Academic and scholarly journals are in trouble: small print runs, part-time editors, and dwindling funds are conspiring to crush them. But help is at hand: new trends in open access publishing support free, digital and open access to research literature, bringing writing and discourse to new and wider audiences. The National Library of Australia has created an Open Publish Web space, using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) digital publishing software to manage, host and deliver an online open access journal service. The Library's objective is to establish "new ways of collecting, sharing, recording, disseminating and preserving knowledge". We want "to ensure our relevance in a rapidly changing world, [by participating] in new online communities". For these reasons, the Library decided to engage in an open access journal publishing trial. This paper outlines the collaboration between the Library and the Association for the Study of Australian Literature to migrate their peer-reviewed journal, JASAL, to an online format. The successful outcome has informed the Library's decision to include Open Publish journals in the Library's collections.

ABSTRACT Clinical and Vaccine Immunology (CVI) will merge with the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) open-access journal mSphere in January 2018. We commemorate this transition by exploring the history of CVI and that of its predecessor, Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology (CDLI), and by acknowledging their contributors. Research on vaccines, clinical immunology, and clinical diagnostic immunology published through mSphere will be available without restrictions to an ever-larger audience, which will expedite progress in the field. ASM remains committed to supporting its members and the research community by facilitating the dissemination of scientific knowledge in these important areas.

Abstract: With considerable attention now being paid within scholarly communications to publication models that increase access to research, the launch of the open access journal Open Medicine demonstrates the contribution that open access, in all of its various economic models, can make to scholarly traditions of editorial independence, intellectual integrity, and academic freedom. This paper details the history of Open Medicine, which was born of an editorial-interference incident in the field of medical publishing, and offers a case study of the current political economy of academic publishing. This new journal demonstrates how open access, in combination with open source publishing and management software, enables new journals to more readily protect the academic freedom of researchers and scholars. As we argue, this method of publishing provides a venue for the emergence of new approaches, ideas, and independence from sources of competing interests in scholarly publishing. Résumé : En s’inspirant de la communication savante qui porte aujourd’hui une attention particulière aux modèles de communication facilitant l’accès à la recherche, la revue à libre accès Open Medicine démontre la contribution que le libre accès, sous toutes ses variantes économiques, peut faire aux traditions savantes privilégiant l’indépendance de la rédaction, l’intégrité intellectuelle et la liberté académique. Cet article recense l’histoire d’Open Medicine, né d’un incident comportant une tentative de contrôler la rédaction, et offre une étude de cas sur l’économie politique actuelle de l’édition académique. Cette nouvelle revue démontre comment le libre accès, de pair avec l’édition à code source libre et un logiciel de gestion, permet aux nouvelles revues de mieux protéger la liberté académique des chercheurs et des savants. Nous soutenons que cette méthode d’édition offre un contexte qui favorise de nouvelles approches et idées et une indépendance accrue par rapport à tout intérêt concurrentiel en édition savante.
