| Descripción: | Abstract: With considerable attention now being paid within scholarly communications to publication models that increase access to research, the launch of the open access journal Open Medicine demonstrates the contribution that open access, in all of its various economic models, can make to scholarly traditions of editorial independence, intellectual integrity, and academic freedom. This paper details the history of Open Medicine, which was born of an editorial-interference incident in the field of medical publishing, and offers a case study of the current political economy of academic publishing. This new journal demonstrates how open access, in combination with open source publishing and management software, enables new journals to more readily protect the academic freedom of researchers and scholars. As we argue, this method of publishing provides a venue for the emergence of new approaches, ideas, and independence from sources of competing interests in scholarly publishing. Résumé : En s’inspirant de la communication savante qui porte aujourd’hui une attention particulière aux modèles de communication facilitant l’accès à la recherche, la revue à libre accès Open Medicine démontre la contribution que le libre accès, sous toutes ses variantes économiques, peut faire aux traditions savantes privilégiant l’indépendance de la rédaction, l’intégrité intellectuelle et la liberté académique. Cet article recense l’histoire d’Open Medicine, né d’un incident comportant une tentative de contrôler la rédaction, et offre une étude de cas sur l’économie politique actuelle de l’édition académique. Cette nouvelle revue démontre comment le libre accès, de pair avec l’édition à code source libre et un logiciel de gestion, permet aux nouvelles revues de mieux protéger la liberté académique des chercheurs et des savants. Nous soutenons que cette méthode d’édition offre un contexte qui favorise de nouvelles approches et idées et une indépendance accrue par rapport à tout intérêt concurrentiel en édition savante. |
