Mention open source in most circles and someone will mention Linux, open office or more often “great idea, but I need Word as that is what is used at work.” If you were to say open source philosophy, you might end up with very similar responses. For whatever reason (sociologists will be able to answer that), the concpet of open source only seems to apply to computer software. I did a search on the terms open source philosophy, I got thousands upon thousands of returns, but all the ones I chose to click on talked about the philosophy of open source, not open source philosophy. So why can’t the concept of open source be applied to other fields, especially academic fields where new ideas are becoming fewer and fewer? (more…)

Open source - Open Access
In one of the email lists I subscribe to there has been a very large discussion regarding open access journals and whether all academic journals should become open access, I have yet to form an opinion.
So on this theme, I received notice of this open access journal through a seperate email list - http://www.kritike.org/index.html - and it made me think I should try to find as many as I can and pop them up on my links page… which I will endeavour to do soon.
Cheers
