Academics and librarians around the world are raising concern about the current state of scholarly journal publishing in that the majority of journals are under the control of five multinational ...commercial journal publishing companies. Some are advocating for scholars to take back control of scholarly communication, particularly because it is the academics who are supplying and managing most of the content for journals. Open access publishing is one option, but the question of sustainability in funding streams raises concerns. Also the roles of scholarly societies, academic association, and universities in looking for stability in nonprofit journal publishing are discussed.
Get on the fast track to publication with the multidisciplinary open access journal worthy of the IEEE. IEEE journals are trusted, respected, and rank among the most highly cited publications in the ...industry. IEEE Access is no exception with a typical one-third acceptance rate. Even though it provides authors faster publication time, every submitted article still undergoes extensive peer review to ensure originality, technical correctness, and interest among readers. Published only online, IEEE Access is ideal for authors who want to quickly announce recent developments, methods, or new products to a global audience.

I am delighted that Emilie Pine has decided to mark the fifty years of growth and change in the Irish University Review: A Journal of Irish Studies. Initially the journal grew out of the stirring of ...interest in the field of Irish studies in the late 1950s and early 1960s mainly in Ireland and America. But scholars in the field were isolated. To improve this situation two young historians, Emmet Larkin and Lawrence J. McCaffney, with the support of John V. Kelleher, a Harvard English professor, founded the American Committee for Irish Studies, to offset this isolation and to bring people together through conferences and organised discussion. In the early 1960s I came back to Ireland from a spell in America to work alongside Roger McHugh at University College Dublin. For years McHugh had been building up a course of lectures on Anglo-Irish literature, outlining its parameters, defining what could be included under the term Anglo-Irish, and working out its origins, associations, and development. In America at the same time John V. Kelleher was defining and presenting a similar perspective. McHugh and Kelleher recognised what the other was doing. When Kelleher gave a course of lectures at University College Dublin, he brought intellectual rigour into the discussion and showed what could be done when the work was subjected to exacting scrutiny. I was fortunate in that I attended lectures and seminars by both men, both at UCD and at Harvard.
Al cumplirse seis decenios de la fundación de Foro Internacional, vale la pena realizar un breve recorrido por su historia, estrechamente vinculada con la del Centro de Estudios Internacionales (CEI) ...de El Colegio de México. Una fuente invaluable al respecto la constituyen los testimonios tanto de los directores adjuntos (luego llamados directores) como de algunos de sus primeros colaboradores, quienes con entusiasmo y dedicación condujeron una revista pionera en América Latina. Varios distinguidos académicos tuvieron a su cargo los destinos de Foro desde su fundación: Daniel Cosío Villegas, Francisco Cuevas Cancino, Mario Ojeda, Rafael Segovia, Roque González Salazar, Rosario Green, Olga Pellicer, Blanca Torres, Lorenzo Meyer, Esperanza Durán, Bernardo Mabire, Soledad Loaeza, María Celia Toro, Francisco Gil Villegas, María del Carmen Pardo, Carlos Alba, Reynaldo Ortega y Juan Olmeda se encuentran entre ellos. En los siguientes párrafos se reflexiona sobre diversos temas vinculados con el devenir de la revista a partir de los testimonios de algunos de estos directores y colaboradores. En las secciones que siguen se abordan el origen y la evolución de la revista, concentrándonos particularmente en las primeras décadas de su existencia, tanto en lo que se refiere a temas, como a los autores y perspectivas teóricas de los artículos publicados. Se da cuenta también de los cambios introducidos en el propio trabajo editorial, una tarea que en general pasa inadvertida para las y los lectores, pero sin la cual no resulta posible que una publicación vea la luz.
