Movements and Models Supporting Open Access

"Open Access (OA) continues to gain momentum, present new opportunities, and is at the forefront of the open science movement. Although OA is only 30% of published research globally, it continues to shape the direction of how scholarly communications are evolving.

At the NFAIS 2018 Open Access conference, Movements and Models Supporting Open Access, all sectors of the industry will come together to explore the emerging trends and business models that drive OA forward—from funding to policies to best practices—as well as the role technology, funders, academia, and publishers play in support of OA.

You’ll learn about:

• The growth of OA over the past several years, trends in article processing charges (APCs), and the market impact of hybrid journals.
• The growing pressure for researchers to extend their reach beyond traditional academic peer audiences.
• The “Read & Publish” and “Subscribe to Open” models, and how they meet the goals of academia, while remaining financially sustainable.
• The use of Open Source technology for streamlining publisher workflows, and how publishers can sustainably adopt and support OA submissions.
• The Government Purpose License, and how it is being used to provide public access to government-funded journal articles.
• And much more!..."
