The current system of peer review works well and is necessary for maintaining the quality of scholarly publishing

SO WHAT? Many attempts at open access advocacy are easily avoided by uninterested students and faculty - workshops, speakers, presentations at faculty meetings, or other one-off events. Embedding open access into relevant curriculum ensures that students will have to engage with the issues. At Pacific University, library faculty offer a 2-credit course on scholarly journal publishing for undergraduates. Through lectures, discussions and assignments (including in-class debates) related to scholarly publishing, students have the opportunity to explore the economics, politics and practical considerations of open access. Next year, the course will be a core offering in a new undergraduate minor in editing and publishing that has been collaboratively developed by Library and English Department faculty. As it develops further, the course is also intended to provide training for student assistants who are employed by the Library to support its repository and publishing services – which serve to further advance discussion of open access on campus. “Blog” symbol from thenounproject.com collection, used under a CC BY license.
