Hey Greg- thanks for this; if you have ideas of how to recognize digital scholarship, i think submitting to the hybridped CfP is a great place to get them widely read (to an admittedly sympathetic audience, but those would be your alt.pub community i guess… They are mine)

I committed to publishing, reviewing and editing to open access only unless:
A. It would be closed now but open soon (e.g. EML, where i can republish within 3 months openly; they also pay authors, so the money goes somewhere meaningful, not to publishers only)
B. for advocacy, sometimes you need to publish radical views in less radical places (often closed) which means they may be closed access (but also admittedly more difficult to get published in!)
C. For someone else’s needs: if i am co-authoring w someone who needs to publish in a certain place for their tenure or whatever, i am willing to put their needs above my ideals.

So basically, i maintain most of my work in places that align to my values and consider my work in other spaces as a kind of advocacy and a way to stay in touch with views different from my own and engage them. That’s actually partly the subject of the blogpost i wrote this morning. I am about to follow up on your link above…
