dc.description.abstract From p. 336: "In this article we contribute to this new research agenda by presenting an analytical tool to help better understand this new type of commons. We also argue the critical importance of collective action in the success and ultimate sustainability of this commons. The complexity of the issues is enormous for many reasons: the vast number of players, multiple conflicting interests, rapid changes of technology, the general lack of understanding of digital technologies, local vs global arenas, and a chronic lack of precision about the information resource at hand. In order to bring greater clarity to this complex commons, we apply the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework as an exploratory tool. Applying this framework, we will illustrate that collective action and new institutional design play as large a part in the shaping of scholarly information as do legal restrictions and market forces." en_US
