Knowledge Ecology Studies-- journal debuts online and open access
Knowledge Ecology International, the advocacy and research group at the center of many international efforts to promote and preserve access to both knowledge (a2k) and medicine, has announced its new peer-reviewed online journal Knowledge Ecology Studies. KE Studies is an online publication that focuses on the creation, dissemination and access to knowledge goods. It is a multidisciplinary journal that draws on a number of specialties: sciences, technologies, public policies, the laws of intellectual property, business, free speech and privacy, telecommunications and other related knowledge disciplines. The premier "issue" (the journal will be updated online regularly with an end of year compilation volume) leads with an interview with Duke Law Professor James Boyle, a leading scholar in the field.
The journal is open-access (free to read with no delays) and published under a combination Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License and a Knowledge Ecology Studies Developing Nations License copyright mechanism. The Knowledge Ecology Studies Developing Nations License will provide the members of the public accessing the Work from a developing country--any country not classified as high-income economy by the World Bank--with the option to obtain all the rights granted under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License on a commercial basis (See: http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/meet-the-licenses), as long as they implement reasonably effective mechanisms to prevent access to the Work by members of the public located in high-income economies as classified by the World Bank.
