Az Edupage ma'r magyarul is olvashato  (ekezetek nelkul), es ingyenesen
megrendelheto a <subs-edupage at hungary.com> cimen. Ez a valtozat azonban
nehany napos kesesben van az eredeti angol valtozathoz kepest.  Az
alabbi az altalam legerdekesebbnek talalt hir azok szamara, akik nem
jaratjak sem az angol, sem a magyar valtozatot.

ACADEMICS PUSH FOR ONLINE PUBLISHING
A small group of influential academics is pushing to introduce online peer
review and publishing of scholarly works, as an alternative source of
information to high-price journals.  Some journals, particularly in science
and technology, can cost as much as $15,000 a year.  The group, which
includes academic officers from the University of Rochester, Columbia
University and the California Institute of Technology, wants professors to
publish online rather than in print, and wants universities to recognize
online posting as "publishing" for the purposes of career advancement
decisions.  "We are calling for neither a lessening of the importance of
research in the criteria for promotion and tenure, nor a turning away from
peer review," says a paper produced by the Association of American
Universities and the Association of Research Libraries.. "What we seek is an
alternate means of achieving those ends."  Under the proposed plan the
papers, once posted online, would be peer-reviewed by a panel of experts,
just as is now the case with print-published papers. The panels, which would
be established by scholarly groups, would give each article a grade or a
stamp of approval.  The response so far from some disciplinary groups has
been lukewarm.  (Chronicle of Higher Education 26 Jun 98)
