Open access research outputs receive more diverse citations
The goal of open access is to allow more people to read and use research outputs. An observed association between highly cited research outputs and open access has been claimed as evidence of increased usage of the research, but this remains controversial. A higher citation count also does not necessarily imply wider usage such as citations by authors from more places. A knowledge gap exists in our understanding of who gets to use open access res…
Global Diversity in Higher Education Workforces
In this article we discuss the collection and nature of diversity data relating to origin (ethnicity, race, nationality, indigeneity), gender/sex and disability in higher education institutional workforces across 24 locations within Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania. The research emerges from the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative project (n.d.), in which we analyse data relating to published research literature, its op…
Who Puts the ‘Open’ in Open Knowledge
This paper explores the concept of ‘open’ knowledge – and the growing importance of digital literacies in supporting a transformation of universities into open knowledge institutions. In order to operate as successful open knowledge institutions, universities must do more than support the transmission of research outcomes from experts located within the university to external communities. They must engage in knowledge-making with communities. Thi…
Comparison of bibliographic data sources
Universities are increasingly evaluated on the basis of their outputs. These are often converted to simple and contested rankings with substantial implications for recruitment, income, and perceived prestige. Such evaluation usually relies on a single data source to define the set of outputs for a university. However, few studies have explored differences across data sources and their implications for metrics and rankings at the institutional sca…
A Name for Herself
This book collects a majority of Montgomery’s early and non-fiction publications across a variety of forms and places them in the context of her career and the narrative strategies of women authors in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
A new model for understanding global media and China
The topic of this article and title of this journal are the same: ‘global media and China’. Although ‘global’ suggests a single universal unit, adding ‘China’ necessarily creates a difference, especially in the context of the ‘Great Firewall’, which creates a well-defined boundary between global media and China. Should our title read ‘Global Media versus China’, suggesting that the apparent universality of ‘global’ phenomena may be an illusion in…
A journal is a club
A new economic model for the analysis of scholarly publishing – journal publishing in particular – is proposed that draws on club theory. The standard approach builds on market failure in the private production (by research scholars) of a public good (new scholarly knowledge). In this model, publishing is communication, as the dissemination of information. But a club model views publishing differently: namely as group formation, where members for…
Copyright in China’s digital cultural industries
Economic and cultural sector reforms and engagement with international markets initiated by Deng Xiaoping since 1990 led to the rapid development of the PRC's copyright law.Since China joined the World Trade Organization in December 2001, affluent Chinese consumers have become an important target market for both Chinese and international firms trading in creative and cultural products.While enforcement remains problematic, Chinese creators and bu…
Open access and soft power
Networked digital technologies and Open Access (OA) are transforming the processes and institutions of research, knowledge creation and dissemination globally: enabling new forms of collaboration, allowing researchers to be seen and heard in new ways and reshaping relationships between stakeholders across the global academic publishing system. This article draws on Joseph Nye’s concept of ‘Soft Power’ to explore the role that OA is playing in hel…
China’s Creative Industries
China's Creative Industries explores the role of new technologies, globalization and higher levels of connectivity in redefining relationships between 'producers' and 'consumers' in 21st century China.
The Digital Economy Bill and the UK’s creative industries
Lucy Montgomery is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Creative Industries and Innovation at Queensland Institute for Technology in Brisbane. Her current work explores evolutionary approaches to understanding the role of copyright in creative innovation in China, Indonesia and Indigenous Australia. She is the author of China’s Creative Industries: Copyright, Social Network Markets and the Business of Culture in a Digital Age (2010, Edward Elgar, …
Fashion as consumer entrepreneurship
China has a reputation as an economy based on utility: the large‐scale manufacture of low‐priced goods. But useful values like functionality, fitness for purpose and efficiency are only part of the story. More important are what Veblen called “honorific” values, arguably the driving force of development, change and value in any economy. To understand the Chinese economy therefore, it is not sufficient to point to its utilitarian aspect. Honorific…
Creative industries come to China (Mate)
This paper introduces the special issue “China: Internationalizing the Creative Industries”, describing the Australian Research Council funded “MATE” project which provides the conceptual background for the questions the issue explores. The MATE project began with the expectation that as China evolves from its status as a developing country with an emphasis on primary industries and manufacturing, to a mature, market‐driven economy benefiting fro…
Space to grow
A difficult copyright environment, combined with the Chinese government's continuing power over key distribution and promotion channels, including radio, television, publishing and concerts (Baranovitch, 2003 Baranovitch, N. 2003. China's new voices: Popular music, ethnicity, gender and politics, Berkeley, CA: University of California Press. [Google Scholar]; Brady, 2006 Brady, A. 2006.

Does weaker copyright mean stronger creative industries? Some lessons from China
We review the theory of intellectual property (IP) in the creative industries (CI) from the evolutionary economic perspective based on evidence from China. We argue that many current confusions and dysfunctions about IP can be traced to three widely overlooked aspects of the growth of knowledge context of IP in the CI: (1) the effect of globalization; (2) the dominating relative economic value of reuse of creative output over monopoly incentives …
Copyright and the creative industries in China
On 27 October 2001 the National People's Congress of China approved amendments to the Chinese Copyright Law that brought it closer in line with the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights 1994 (TRIPS) and the Berne Convention on Literary and Artistic Works of 1886. Since enacting its first copyright law in 1990, China has been engaged in the development of a copyright regime that accords with international practice. Accession to t…
Beijing bling’
This edited interview with Hung Huang, CEO of China Interactive Media Group (CIMG), was conducted by Lucy Montgomery in Beijing on 12 August 2005. It was done as part of the ARC Discovery research project, Internationalising Creative Industries: China, the WTO and the Knowledge Economy, led by John Hartley. That project is investigating the development of creative industries in China by focusing on a number of creative services including fashion …
