FQS-Newsletter January 2006

Dear All,

I would like to inform you that the 20th FQS Issue—"Learning About Risk" (http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt1-06-e.htm), edited by Jens O. Zinn & Peter Taylor-Gooby—is available online (see http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/rubriken-e.htm for former issues). As always, in addition to articles relating to "Learning About Risk" FQS 7(1) also provides selected single contributions, an article that belongs to the FQS Debate on "Ethnography of the Career Politics," as well as articles belonging to FQS Interviews and FQS Reviews. As we received a great number of reviews and review essays we decided to publish a "Special Issue FQS Reviews IV" in March. Regular issues will be on "Qualitative Migration Research in Contemporary Europe" (May) and "The State of the Art of Qualitative Research in Ibero America" (September).

B) INSIDE FQS: FREIE UNIVERSITAET BERLIN SIGNED THE BERLIN DECLARATION ON OPEN ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Berlin Declaration was released on October 2003. It aims at "promoting the Internet as a functional instrument for a global scientific knowledge base and human reflection and to specify measures which research policy makers, research institutions, funding agencies, libraries, archives and museums need to consider. … Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if the information is not made widely and readily available to society. New possibilities of knowledge dissemination not only through the classical form but also and increasingly through the open access paradigm via the Internet have to be supported. … In order to realize the vision of a global and accessible representation of knowledge, the future Web has to be sustainable, interactive, and transparent. Content and software tools must be openly accessible and compatible."
