How does the current system of publishing academic articles work, and what are the challenges of this? There is still a lot to be learned about the risks of moving forward with open access, but there seems to be a lot of opportunity as well. Is there a risk of losing the peer review process? Where does self-publishing fit into this movement? All these questions will be addressed within this podcast. Dr. Campbell and Dr. Mastors explain what this movement means to the online university, American Public University, and they explore the gains and losses of heading in this direction for future publications.
