Abstract: (arXiv)

Having always been at the forefront of information management and open access, High-Energy Physics (HEP) proves to be an ideal test-bed for innovations in scholarly communication including new information and communication technologies. Three selected topics of scholarly communication in High-Energy Physics are presented here: A new open access business model, SCOAP3, a world-wide sponsoring consortium for peer-reviewed HEP literature/ the design, development and deployment of an e-infrastructure for information management/ and the emerging debate on long-term preservation, re-use and (open) access to HEP data.

There are many definitions and flavours of open access. For the sake of clarity, in this contribution we will assume something along the lines of “grant anybody anywhere and anytime access to the (peer-reviewed) results of (publicly-funded) research”… in HEP, of course.
