11. Highly Available Dissertations

Lisa Tagliaferri reinforces the need for academic work to reach a wider audience using her own dissertation as a case study. In ‘Highly Available Dissertations: Open Sourcing Humanities Scholarship’, not only does Tagliaferri advocate for open source, hers was also the first chapter offered as a preprint to this collection, via MIT’s database. Her chapter describes open source, open access, and Creative Commons before offering suggestions for stakeholders to consider when navigating various levels of access.
