Move It Forward: a publisher workshop to identify transitional open access models | June 21–22, Oakland, California.

"Building on the Pay It Forward project, the UC Davis Library, with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, invites applications to participate in a “Move-It-Forward” workshop focused on exploring and vetting publisher models for transitioning existing scholarly journals to open access. Following a competitive review process, we anticipate hosting up to 25 interested representatives from publishers of scholarly journals for a one-and-a-half day workshop and discussion to take place June 21–22 in Oakland, California. Workshop participants will provide brief presentations on past, present, and theorized approaches, and the group will work to identify the most promising and transformative methods, as well as their roadblocks and prerequisites. Subsequent to the workshop, we plan to explore and, where possible, operationalize discussed plans and models.
