The way in which scholars produce and publish scholarship is changing into a more open, collaborative, and iterative process. Based on Daniel J. Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt's open access book by the same title, the Hacking the Academy program series explores the evolution of scholarship and scholarly publishing. This program series will highlight trends in how scholarship is produced, archived, evaluated, and reused through a series of interdisciplinary showcases, discussions, and lectures.
