Now in its 10th year, COASP is a major annual scholarly publishing conference that brings the open access community together to discuss new developments and innovations in scholarly publishing, and unite in shared goal to enable research around the world to be openly accessible. In this important celebratory year for COASP, they will be kicking off the conference with an 'Early Movers' panel, in which key actors from the early years of the open access movement - Vitek Tracz, David Prosser, Susan Murray, Marin Dacos, Jean-Claude Guédon, and Caroline Sutton - discuss the history of the movement and the great progress in open access publishing that has been made since COASP held its first conference in 2008, and reflect on where open access publishing is heading.
Panel topics include: F.A.I.R. Research Outputs; Open Access Monographs; Transformative Agreements; and New Models in Open Access Publishing. A broad range of interdisciplinary global perspectives will be hosted on other panels and in keynotes. There will be a large number of networking opportunities for further discussion and collaboration between attendees. Delegates from a wide range of backgrounds at all stages of their careers who are working in publishing, librarianship, government, higher education, funding agencies, nonprofits, and other affiliated industries are welcome.
