PhDs 003: Open Access Publishing and Networking – with Adam Capitanio

October 6, 2014 By Michelle Erickson

PhDs 03 Open Access Publishing and Networking - with Adam Capitanio

We chat with Adam Capitanio, Editorial Associate at Berghahn Books, about the issues surrounding open access in academic publishing and the benefits of a powerful PhD network.

QUOTES FROM ADAM

“Open access is the idea that scholars, academics, and university researchers should be able to make their work freely available and open to the public.”

“It’s a fine line to walk because academic publishers, particularly independent publishers, have to make a profit.”

“Open access as issue didn’t exist before the internet.”

“We need to be able to make peace with some of the disruptive trends that are going on in the industry.”

Which is more important: luck, smarts, or know-how?

That depends on where you are in your career. If you're just starting out, luck - you need it to get those first few interviews. Once you have the job, smarts - if you're incompetent, you'll go nowhere. No matter what the situation, know(ing) how to network and make friends will take you places.

If I had to do it all over again, I would…

Sit paralyzed with indecision. I ask myself this question all the time, and I have yet to find an argument that totally convinces me one way or the other. On the one hand, I feel that doing a PhD robbed me of some really important life and career building years. On the other hand, who could pass up the opportunity to read books and talk about them with really smart people for 5+ years?
