International Conference on Electronic Publishing 2018 (ELPUB)
Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable
Infrastructure
June 22-24, 2018
University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
http://elpub.net
The theme for ELPUB 2018 is Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From
Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure. The question of sustainability in
the open access movement has been widely debated, but satisfactory answers
and long term solutions have yet to be generated.
Market-driven versions of open access and open science are growing in
prevalence, as well as a growing dependence on commercial publishers for
the infrastructures needed to openly and democratically create and
communicate knowledge.
This yearıs theme challenges us to collaborate on the design and
implementation of a sustainable community-driven research communication
infrastructure that is also inclusive of diverse forms of knowledge making
and sharing.
The conference program committee invites contributions from members of the
community whose research and experiments are focused on sustainability
models for community based open infrastructure, trust and governance of
the Knowledge Commons, and transforming the nature of scholarly
communications.
If you are interested in sharing your research, ideas, and tools that
contribute to the theme or just join in the discussion, please consider
participating in the meeting!
