Open Access Week on Internet Archaeology

The online peer-reviewed e-journal Internet Archaeology is going totally ‘Open Access’ for the duration of Open Access Week, 24–30 October.

Internet Archaeology has been a hybrid Open Access journal for over a year, and it the editor’s wish to move fully towards a sustainable Open Access (OA) model. The editor hopes therefore that this event will both demonstrate the serious efforts in this direction as well as give potential authors (in whose hands the journal’s future really lies) the opportunity to view the range of material IA can publish. The editor would like to encourage all authors to include OA fees in future research funding applications wherever possible.

Following negotiations, JISC Collections has purchased the full suite of Internet Archaeology content on behalf of UK higher and further education institutions, which means that their members have permanent access to 15 years of rich multimedia scholarly content.

Note that all reviews and editorials in Internet Archaeology have always been Open Access.

We have also had success more recently in attracting articles with OA funding either via authors’ departmental research committees, government agencies or University library OA funds.
