Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a leader in advancing copyright, accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, in partnership with Outsell, Inc. hosted an invitation-only roundtable program during London Book Fair, ‘Open Dialogue: The Key to Advancing Scholarly Communications.’
The objective of the exclusive, co-sponsored program was to facilitate a strategic discussion among key stakeholders across the globe - publishers, institutions, funders, policymakers, authors/researchers, and service providers - about emerging models to advance scholarly communications in an environment fraught with friction.
The program featured panel and workshop sessions designed to foster transparency and collaboration and to build a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities currently facing scholarly communications. The spirit of the day was established in the opening remarks, which called for open, cross-party collaboration and communication to rise above the noise, make progress, and help move the sector forward in light of shared challenges.
Speakers included Armstrong and Stratigos, along with Diego Baptista, Wellcome Trust; William Bowes, Publishers Association; Olivier Dumon, Elsevier; Michael Forster, IEEE; Dr. Danny Kingsley, Cambridge University Library; Petra Labriga, Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB); Jo McShea, Outsell Inc; Salvatore Mele, CERN; Tasha Mellins-Cohen, Microbiology Society; Brandon Nordin, American Chemical Society; Paul Peters, Hindawi; Annette Thomas, Clarivate Analytics; and David Worlock, Co-Chair, Outsell’s Leadership Program.
