In Conversation with Open Mind, a No-fee Open Access Journal in Cognitive Science - Harvard Library Calendars - Harvard Library

"In celebration of International Open Access Week 2024, please join us for a conversation with Open Mind, MIT Press, MIT Libraries, and Harvard Library.

Although a young journal in the field, Open Mind has a history of leading the field in open access publishing. With funding from the MIT Libraries the MIT Press moved Open Mind to a diamond open access publishing model in 2022, eliminating all article processing fees for scholars and providing free access for readers and researchers alike. Building on these efforts, Open Mind will be cofunded by Harvard Library and MIT Libraries now through 2027. Open Mind is the first journal to be supported by the Harvard Open Journals Program, announced earlier this year to advance and sustain no-fee open access scholarly publishing.

For this conversation, panelists will discuss the journal's flip to no-fee OA, stabilizing and sustaining the journal through cooperative funding, the benefits and challenges of no-fee OA publishing—and why it is worth pursuing."
