This event promises to bring together key stakeholders in the open access community to explore innovative approaches to advancing scholarly publishing accessibility.
Diamond Open Access publishing, a beacon of accessibility in the academic world, thrives on collaboration among diverse stakeholders. With a common mission to broaden access to scholarly literature, stakeholders such as scholars, universities, and libraries unite to challenge the dominance of for-profit publishing models and reassert the rightful role of academic institutions in the publication lifecycle.
In the face of perpetual financial challenges imposed by traditional publishing models, the need for concerted efforts to support open access initiatives has never been more pressing. While funding for open access publications and infrastructures has gained traction, there remains a need to address the systemic challenges holistically.
This panel session invites participants to delve into the discourse surrounding collaborative partnerships for open access. Hear from industry experts advocating for a united front among publishers, infrastructures, and academic institutions to drive meaningful change in scholarly publishing. Learn about their efforts to develop collective funding approaches that recognize the interconnectedness of various components in the open access ecosystem.
