The Conversation on China’s embracing #openaccess for Science but not the Humanities

Well, this is very interesting and exactly the type of topic that fits in well with our ICIS project:

Humanities left behind as China embraces open access science.

The article reports on how China as a whole is pushing open access in the sciences but how the humanities in China are pretty much the opposite. The writer Michael Hockx suggests that a big revolution could happen if China embraced green open access in the humanities. Really interesting points here.
