Episode 5

In this episode, the GEARS duo banters about solving academia's publishing problem. We discuss the future of academic publishing, the effects of the need to publish, open access versus paywalls, for-profit publishers, self-archiving, and self publishing. We also take a stab at hypothesizing how self publishing would affect your tenure review and what do universities do with all of those metrics that they collect?. Our answers may shock you! (See, there was some science in the discussion... we had a hypothesis.) Let us know what you think. We can be reached at or via email at academictrax@gmail.com .
