Thomas Stöber, Das Internet als Medium geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Publikation. Pragmatische und epistemologische Fragestellungen, Philologie im Netz, 2 (2004). Stöber provides the title and abstract in English: "The Internet as a Medium of Publishing in the Humanities – Pragmatic and Epistemological Perspectives. The article starts with pointing out both the fundamental advantages and the actual problems created by electronic publishing in the humanities while detailing recent approaches which aim at solving these problems. In addition to this pragmatic perspective which illustrates how electronic publishing might optimize communication within the humanities, the article focuses furthermore on an epistemological perspective considering the way in which the hypertextuality of digital media could influence scientific discourse and contribute to new ways of knowledge representation." (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
