The theme
Transformative agreements have become the most common type of agreements between university library consortia and publishers. Though these deals have increased the amount of Open Access journal articles it is still considered, as the name suggests, to be a process towards something else. This year’s program will address changes in the scholarly communication landscape, specifically looking ahead at what lies beyond the transformative agreements. In terms of transforming the publishing landscape towards Open Access, what is achieved by the Read & Publish agreements?
- What can stakeholders in scholarly publishing do to further this transformation? Are there alternatives to the transformative model?
- How can publishers accommodate to different funder requirements?
- How do Open Access publishing models harmonize with research funders’ requirements?
- How are researchers’ publishing strategies affected by the changing publishing landscape?
LundOnline will be an opportunity for scholarly communication stakeholders to meet, discuss and present their views on current challenges related to publishing and scholarly communication. The aim of the conference is to be a forum for networking, and this year’s program will focus on interactivity and dialogue.
