> Background
> 
> The Royal Society of London launched "Philosophical 
> Transactions" in 1665 to get ideas out of closeted 
> correspondence and into wider circulation. Today there are 
> estimated to be 24,000 academic journals. The March issue of 
> University Affairs (http://www.universityaffairs.ca, 
> suggested that many of these provide more of a "publishing" 
> venue rather than for the larger goal of getting ideas into 
> circulation. This has become a stumbling block for the "open 
> access" movement designed to use the Internet as a way to 
> make knowledge open and accessible. The open access movement 
> has also brought into focus the industry which has come to be 
> dependent on the income from these journals, including large 
> publishing houses and small academic societies where revenues 
> subsidies other activities.
> 
> The increasing availability of scholarly articles through the 
> Internet seems to reflect other issues which were once not 
> visible. This includes plagiarism, poor editorial control 
> over writing quality and thin articles which probably should 
> be notes or a chart in a more substantive piece. Thus the 
> potential of Open Access could raise the bar for authors and 
> editorial boards of journals while challenging the purpose 
> and substance of the scholarly journal. Simultaneously, some 
> scholars have chosen to take their ideas to the larger, 
> public, venue through the popular press and alternatives 
> offered by the advent of electronic deliveries and 
> just-in-time publishing.
> 
> What is to be the fate of the scholarly publication in the 
> near and long term? What does this import for the current 
> list of scholarly journals, the publishing houses and 
> societies that distribute ideas via the journal, whether in 
> print or electronic, subscription or open access? What does 
> this mean for The Academy and the academic, given the 
> shifting roles within the University? In an Internet world, 
> where does respected knowledge originate and does this depend 
> on the disciplines as defined by The Academy?
> 
> 
> The Call
> 
> On the Horizon seeks ideas in the form of prospectus not to 
> exceed one page in length. These will be due by 1 June 2006 
> with notification by 1 July and full papers due by 1 October, 
> 2006. Ideas accepted will be published in essay format of up 
> to 5000 words, but may be shorter. Footnotes and references 
> are to inform as well as validate. Authors retain the 
> copyrights beyond the publication in OTH. Final paper will 
> include an abstract and key words.
> 
> The editor is interested in thoughtful ideas on format or 
> collaborative/complementary articles. Questions can be 
> addressed to the editor, above.
> 
> Kind Regards,
