C&RL preprints go open access!

Kathryn Deiss — Tue, 06 May 2008 21:22:33 +0000

The recently launched preprint service of College & Research Libraries is now completely open to the public, regardless of ACRL membership status. C&RL preprints are fully vetted articles that are ready for publication pending only final copy editing and space in an upcoming issue. Under the new open access model, these timely new research articles in academic librarianship are now available to a wider audience.

“We’re pleased to make these preprint articles openly available,” said ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen Davis. “Drawing on our long-standing concerns for the health of scholarly communication, ACRL continues to experiment with our access and business models as a publisher.”

Additional details are available in the press release about the new service.

C&RL Launches Preprints!

Kathryn Deiss — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:40:03 +0000

ACRL is pleased to announce the debut of online preprint articles from College & Research Libraries (C&RL). The first batch of preprint articles are now available on the C&RL website.

C&RL is one of the most read peer-reviewed scholarly journals in the field of library and information science. The addition of preprint articles gives the C&RL editor the ability to release important research articles online prior to publication in the print journal. All preprint articles have been accepted for future publication in C&RL. Manuscripts are in their final version but are not yet copyedited or formatted for print publication. The full-text of these articles is available as PDFs to current ACRL members only.
