Do
you believe that peer-reviewed publishing continues to be the preferred
distribution for Knowledge?
Scholarly journals have existed for over
340 years with peer review being less common among early academic sources.
While most scholarly and scientific studies implement a significant level of
peer review today, the latter is under scrutiny by the scholars and the lay
press (Chang, 2006). With the increasing demand for knowledge, I believe
peer-reviewed remain preferred distribution for knowledge fueled by uprising
impact electronic dissemination. Besides, through peer-review, scholars have
saved a great deal of cost and effort in conducting scientific research.
If I were to place my writing, I would
prefer Creative Commons licensing. Creative Commons license, although based on
parlance, provide a fair use under public domain. Furthermore, it provides a
jurisdiction that protects the original content and at the same time allowing
the user to access the peer-reviewed content “we all win under creative commons
licensing.” (Chang, 2006). In addition, Creative Commons provide the basis for
a copyright without which no license for content protection would be granted.
