About
The Higgs Boson discovery at CERN has made headlines. Starting from its scientific relevance, we reflect on the meaning of ‘publication’ and ‘authorship’ for this large-scale scientific endeavor. We analyze the significance of Open Access for the field over the last decades, and how the practices of global collaboration can translate to the implementation of Open Access publishing today.
