Fragment of the Introduction<\/p>\n
The presented book is, to some extent, a spiritual heir to the conference proceedings published on the occasion of the original congresses in York, Bruges, and Basel. However, it represents a completely fresh start, not mere\u00adly conforming to current publishing standards but rather charting new paths forward.<\/p>\n
We believe that Open Science is a value worth pursuing. The work we undertake on humanity\u2019s shared heritage should be freely accessible to all in\u00adterested. The debate surrounding the accessibility of science has persisted for years. Despite dominant models primarily focused on disproportionate profit relative to the effort and services provided, the moral right to access data often aligns with the stance of \u201cpirates.\u201d<\/p>\n
We are immensely grateful to the Yellow Point Publications (YPP) publishing house for offering all texts available under the Open Access model, com\u00adpletely free of charge, without levying any fees for editorial and other works either. Both the technical and scholarly editorial responsibilities were under\u00adtaken by MERC members, entirely pro publico bono<\/em>. While this approach is the most traditional, it is also fraught with the greatest financial risk, and es\u00adsentially non-functional in today\u2019s world dominated by predatory publishing corporations taxing societies multiple times for academic research. Conse\u00adquently, we encourage the purchase of printed volumes, as the sole profit for the YPP publishing house stems from their sales. We hope this book will inaugurate an entire series dedicated to young researchers and all medieval\u00adists alike, focusing not only on post-conference volumes (which seem to be dwindling in recent times) but also on dedicated monographs.<\/p>\n In summary, this is the path that MERC treads\u2014a path marked by principles of equality, inclusivity, support for young researchers, and the promotion of openness. As stated in our manifesto, \u201cMedieval archaeologists are most ef\u00adfective when working together. We need a vibrant, socially engaged, respectful research community. For this to work, we need to build more avenues to self-awareness and knowledge exchange within the community of practition\u00aders across all sectors\u201d. This book is yet another step towards forming such a community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Content<\/p>\n Jakub Sawicki, M\u00e1ria Vargha, Carlo Citter Silvia Berrica N\u00f3ra Bur\u00e1nszki Camilla Felicioni, Chiara Mascarello, Ylenia Paciotti Lisa Fenucci Laszlo Ferenczi Zana Hoxha Zbigniew Kubiatowski Johan Sandvang Larsen Jakub Jauernig, Barbora Uchytilov\u00e1 Wroc\u0142aw 2024<\/p>\n Series: Medieval Europe Research Community Papers<\/p>\n Number: Vol. 1<\/p>\n Format: 215 x 160 mm<\/p>\n Pages: 156<\/p>\n Softcover<\/p>\n Book block sewn<\/p>\n ISBN 978-83-965997-2-8<\/p>\n DOI 10.5281\/zenodo.10775445<\/p>\n Reviewers:<\/p>\n Prof. Michael Lewis (British Museum)<\/p>\n Prof. Jerzy Piekalski (University of Wroclaw)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4073,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[82,107,75],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4071"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4071"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4071"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.ypp.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
