I notice that this research is not open access. Do you have a list of links analogous to the one you posted, but to open access versions of the chapters (in institutional or thematic repositories, for example)?
Alternatively, would you send me a copy of your chapter?
Hi, Ewout
Unfortunately this is not an open access publication. I had already written the chapter before I got the contract and I was very unhappy about the copyright conditions and the eventual price, but it was too late by then.
However, you can get a full copy of my chapter by clicking on: http://resources.igi-global.com/marketing/pdfs/lee/2.pdf
if you contact the other authors, they can give you a similar url for their chapter.
I hope you find the chapter useful,
Best regards
Thanks, Tony, I´m sorry if I sounded snarky. I don´t want to lecture other people how they should publish their work. But when I clicked the links and discovered that I had no (in any practical sense) access I must admit I felt a bit excluded.
Apparently the publisher has decided that they only want to market this to academic libraries. But this means that 99% of your potential readership must send emails to authors asking for private copies.
There is a temporary solution: I just download the whole book by guessing the obvious URLs for the other chapters. Still, a ridiculous situation.
As any IGI publication, sooo expensive. 🙁 I see that they have taken down the PDFs, obviously…
So the only solution is asking author by author. 🙂
My best,
Marcello
Ye, Marcello, I’ve learned my lesson – I’ll never do an article or publication for IGI again. They pay NO royalties and charge ridiculous prices for the book, and really restrict authors’ rights to republish.
