Apologies for cross-posting.
Next Wednesday, the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and Libraria will host an unprecedented event gathering over 60 stakeholders to discuss a new model for universal open access that has research libraries and funders working together to support the conversion of subscription journal to open access. The event will be followed by a workshop in which publishers, journal editors, academic society leadership, librarians, and research funders will, with the input of strategic advisors, work on the terms of the model and a basis for a pilot in anthropology.
You can follow a live webcast of the event on the following link (http://web.mit.edu/webcast/computationalcultures/) as well as on the Society for Cultural Anthropology’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CulturalAnthropology/)
More information on the model we are proposing for OA in anthropology is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sAcfBMgKjvjg9TaAGwSyj8Iqxr_2e8Vh0KxOkY8nJTM/edit
Tune in for what we hope will be an important moment in the history of journal publishing in anthropology.
Cheers
Alberto
