As an experiment, I've uploaded an #ePub of the journal volume "Current Practice in Linked Open Data for the Ancient World", ISAW Papers 7 (2014) to Academia_edu . See https://www.academia.edu/7598376/Current_Practice_in_Linked_Open_Data_for_the_Ancient_World . Co-edited w/@paregorios@social.coop and @jmucci@twitter.com .
When the experiment is further along, I'll probably upload to Zenodo.org as well.
@sebhth what’s the hypothesis you’re hoping to prove?
@paregorios Maybe it's "Anything is better than PDF."
@paregorios No great stakes on that decision. Happy to have generated a bit of conversation. And a bit of looking around... In the #hcommons faq, ePub not listed among supported formats for text: https://hcommons.org/core/faq/ . PDF "preferred", though with warning. But... I only saw this now. Again, happy for the prompt.
On the bigger Academia_edu question: I'm a little agnostic when it comes to repositories that enable access to work originally published elsewhere. Use them in parallel?
@sebhth We should push on hcommons about that.
@sebhth I’m all for almost any format other than pdf. Was wondering about the academia.e d u part.
