8.15 The Middle Way: The Very Low Cost Model for Scholarly Publishing
In this paper we propose a third alternative to the two current contenders for the way forward in scholarly publishing. We propose that very low-cost (VLC) subscriptions paid by a broadened audience of institutions and individuals might offer some significant advantages for the future of scholarly publishing and indeed for the wider dissemination of knowledge.
