Dear all,
This is a reminder that registrations are now open for the 9th Conference
on Open Access Scholarly Publishing (COASP), which will be held at the
Altis Grand Hotel in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 20th and 21st September,
2017. Details on the conference, including how to book rooms at the hotel
at our discounted delegate rate, are here: http://oaspa.org/conference
Now in its 9th year, COASP is a vital conference for the open access
publishing community to gather to develop and advance discussions,
relationships, policy and research around open access publishing. As in
previous years, delegates from a wide range of backgrounds will be brought
together for an exciting range of panels, events, and networking
opportunities. We are proud to consistently offer global, diverse
perspectives on publishing each year, and welcome attendees at all stages
of their careers who work in publishing, librarianship, government, higher
education, funding agencies, nonprofits, and other affiliated industries.
Community and collaboration is at the heart of open access publishing, and
we are excited to offer both again at COASP this year for all those working
in open access around the world.
Speakers so far confirmed include Jean-Claude Burgelman (European
Commission), Jessica Polka (ASAPbio), Louise Page (PLOS), Robert Kiley
(Wellcome Trust), Vanessa Proudman (SPARC Europe), Danny Kingsley
(University of Cambridge), Mikael Laakso (Hanken School of
Economics), Jean-Sébastien Caux (University of Amsterdam), and Paul Peters
(Hindawi).
Panel topics this year are: The market for APCs; Open infrastructure in
scholarly communications; Research evaluation and assessment; Open peer
review in both journal publishing and in open access books and monographs
publishing.
A pre-conference reception for delegates will be held on the evening of
Tuesday 19th September. The full program for the conference will be
announced as soon as possible.
We hope to see as many of you in September as possible! Please feel free to
discuss the conference on social media using the hashtag #COASP9.
Best wishes,
Leyla Williams
