Webinar: What do we mean by quality in open access publishing? Feb 06, 2025, 3pm GMT | OASPA

OASPA is pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, which will focus on quality in open access (OA) publishing. What do researchers expect from OA journals and what do OA journals offer? Are there any regional differences in the perception of publication quality?

During this webinar we will hear from researchers and journal editors from East and North Africa, a librarian from Southeast Europe and digital publishing and dissemination service from North America. Efforts to establish sets of criteria that OA publishers need to meet in order to ensure equitable, transparent, and high-quality OA publishing will be presented. We will also discuss how libraries and other scholarly communication actors could contribute to the evidence-based notion of quality in scholarly publishing.

The webinar will be chaired by Iryna Kuchma of EIFL. We welcome our panelists: Kamel Belhamel, Milica Ševkušić, Jessica Dallaire-Clark and Tom Kwanya.

The panellists will each speak for a few minutes, and then we will open it up to questions from the audience and discussion.

Please join us live for this free webinar and contribute to the discussion.
