article on open access, innovation & infrastructure

by Benedikt Fecher

Dear network members, a colleague and I recently wrote a short article on Open Access and infrastructure/innovation that might be of interest for some of you: Abstract: http://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/4/2/17/ HTML Version: http://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/4/2/17/html PDF Version: http://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/4/2/17/pdf Manuscript: http://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/4/2/17/manuscript I am very much interested in discussing ideas on the market for OA publishing and potential new business models for scholarly publications. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested to discuss ideas, perhaps in the "learning call"-format that we are already using in the NoC. Best regards from Berlin benedikt fecher

Benchmarking Demand: PAKISTAN AND THE INTERNET USERS’ PERSPECTIVE‏

by Arzak Khan

Dear All, We at Internet Policy Observatory Pakistan and Center for Global Communication Studies are happy to announce our latest report "Benchmarking Demand: Pakistan and the internet users's perspective". This report is the third in a series that examines public attitudes and preferences about Internet censorship and regulation in states in which media and Internet use are subject to increasing restrictions.In the context of Pakistan, where rapid increases in internet access and usage are accompanied by a propensity to regulate this new cyber-territory, the goal of this report is to uncover the views of Pakistani Internet users with respect to the regulation and control of online spaces.In each of these reports, we seek to provide insight into who uses the Internet in each country and the most used and trusted sources of online and offline information. But more than that, the surveys seek to add to a process: learning how to plumb general views about the influence of the Internet on politics and society and chart attitudes concerning censorship on various political, religious and social grounds. The reports test an approach to determining who, among competing institutions, people trust to regulate the Internet, what constitutes their policy preferences about Internet regulation, and the extent to which Internet regulation issues might figure in political mobilization efforts in furtherance of Internet freedom.I hope you all found this report interesting. Best Regards,Arzak Khan
