Abstract

Scholarly communication is facing great changes due to the revolution of digital technology and the raising of new economic models for academic publishing. In the legal domain, in particular, these changes affect a scenario dominated by a rigid and centralized control of information by a few large commercial publishers. This paper analyses these changes, proposing a road map for providing a digital publishing service for legal information materials based on Open Access policies and technological implementations.
