Really, We're Helping To Build This . . . Business: The Academia.edu Files, charts the recent debate about for-profit academic social networking sites (aka research sharing platforms) such as Academia.edu, ResearchGate and Mendeley. It features contributions from Gary Hall, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Eileen Joy and Guy Geltner, among others.

Help Wanted

Initially put together by Gary Hall and Janneke Adema, The Academia.edu Files, like all the titles in the Liquid Books series, is open for editing by anyone.

The editors are particularly keen for users to contribute to the section on alternative platforms, to raise awareness about the not-for-profit, institutionally supported and/or scholarly-led alternative initiatives for sharing and discussing research.

Updated on 25 April, 2024. Media Gifts is 'raw in its focus on content', having been constructed according to some of the principles of Brutalist Web Design set out by David Bryant Copeland. Except where otherwise indicated, content on Media Gifts can be distributed, reproduced, transmitted, translated, modified, remixed, built upon, used and 'pirated' in any medium, even without indication of origin. (This does not affect any rights others may have in it or in how it is used.) Given the lack of a licence that is consistent with the (inhumanist) approach to copyright that is articulated and enacted on Media Gifts - although the cc4r licence (https://gitlab.constantvzw.org/unbound/cc4r) comes closer than most - this statement is provided to acknowledge yet deny the copyrighting that is performed by default by a public domain CC-O licence or when all rights are otherwise waived.
