数字化和开放获取出版的兴起是学术交流的一个重要发展。目前的出版系统面临着成本方面的挑战，许多大学出于经济原因被迫取消期刊订阅，以及访问，因为学者和公众通常无法访问付费订阅期刊上发表的研究。开放获取出版解决了获取问题，但不一定解决了成本问题。大学和研究人员目前正处于学术出版的一个具有挑战性的间隙阶段。订阅期刊仍然主导着学术交流，但资助和支持开放获取替代品的必要性也越来越大。利益相关者，包括教师，大学管理人员，出版商，科学资助机构和图书馆员和政府目前都在更广泛的出版系统中为自己的专业和经济利益制定战略和斗争。学术出版的未来将呈现出四个主要趋势：1）与学术协会的对抗; 2）同行评审的变化和创新; 3）围绕开放获取的科学/知识运动; 4）出版和出版领域的新专业利基。本文提出了这些关于学术出版成本和收益的各种冲突的潜在轨迹和结果。
Digitization and the rise of Open Access publishing is an important recent development in academic communication. The current publishing system exhibits challenges with cost, where many universities are forced to cancel journal subscriptions for economic reasons, as well as access, as scholars and the public alike often lack access to research published in paywalled subscription journals. Open Access publishing solves the access problem, but not necessarily cost problems. Universities and researchers are currently in a challenging, interstitial stage of scholarly publishing. Subscription journals still dominate scholarly communication, yet a growing imperative to fund and support Open Access alternatives also exists. Stakeholders, including faculty, university administrators, publishers, scientific funding institutions and librarians and governments alike currently strategize and fight for their professional and economic interests in the broader publishing system. Four main trends are suggested that will characterize the future of scholarly publishing: 1) antagonism with scholarly associations; 2) changes and innovations to peer review; 3) Scientific/Intellectual Movements around Open Access 4) publishing and new professional niches in the publishing landscape. This article suggests potential trajectories and outcomes for these various conflicts over the costs and benefits of academic publishing.
