It also posits directions wich could provide the prospect of greater impact of Humanities research, transformation in the methods of scholarly communication, and innovation in the processes of peer review. Open Access presents positive opportunities for the archiving, access, distribution and use of Humanities research publications.The Committee does support opening up the Open Access debate, and the ensuing Open Access policies, to include non-textual research production.
