This month we will be featuring our #ELPUB2018 Travel Scholarship recipients on our website. We are very grateful to our Conference Partners for their support and for making it possible to include more voices in the conversation. They will each be sharing some of their research interests, the conversations they are looking forward to participating in at the conference, and share some of the challenges of open access in their regions or countries.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Q&A with SPARC<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Some highlights from our recent interview with SPARC:<\/p>

Why is your organization supporting the ELPUB 2018 Conference?<\/em><\/p>

The ELPUB Conference has always been a place where important conversations take place, the kind that drive real change. As a catalyst for action, SPARC focuses on partnering with organizations that are focused on getting things done\u2014not just talking about action. The ELPUB Conference has been an important place for many of those critical conversations to start, and this year is no different with a theme that is highly aligned with the work of SPARC.<\/p>

How does the theme of this year\u2019s conference, Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure, relate to your mission?<\/em><\/p>

The theme really resonated with us this year as we ramp up our work in the infrastructure space. It has become clearer and clearer that the infrastructure upon which the research enterprise relies has to be controlled\u2014if not outright owned\u2014by the participants, and not ceded exclusively to for-profit players. In the journal marketplace, we\u2019ve seen how much damage this misalignment can cause. We\u2019re hopeful that this year\u2019s ELPUB theme will foster a productive discussion about not repeating those mistakes of the past and how we can work together toward a more equitable and inclusive scholarly infrastructure.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Keynote Address by Chris Bourg at the recent Creative Commons Summit<\/em><\/p>

Chris Bourg is Director of Libraries at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she also has oversight of the MIT Press. Chris is deeply involved with Open Access Initiatives, the future of research libraries, diversity and inclusion in higher education, and the role libraries can play in advancing social justice.\u00a0Her keynote addresses issues of Open Access to research, the balance of privacy and openness, and diversity and inclusion in the open community.<\/p>

\u201cAnother danger of open scholarship is that it can (and will if we don\u2019t actively intervene) re-inscribe global information inequity. At the most basic level, we have to think carefully about the implications of open access being primarily a movement for faculty at elite institutions in the global north. As scholarship from the global north becomes more open and more ubiquitously available, there is a real danger that current inequities in prestige, impact, and citation patterns will be exacerbated and open access will serve to re-colonize scholarship.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

OPERAS Conference: Open Scholarly Communication in Europe. Addressing the Coordination Challenge.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

31 May \u2013 1 June 2018 in Athens, Greece<\/p>

The scholarly communication landscape in Europe experiences rapid changes with the development of Open Science. These changes are impacting stakeholders across several countries differently. Among many challenges the academic community is facing, a prominent one is how to efficiently coordinate research activities from multiple disciplines, based on different skills and organized in several countries. The OPERAS research infrastructure approaches the coordination challenge in a transition to Open Science context, particularly for the humanities and social sciences.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

BOAI 15 Survey Report Released<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

In recognition of the 15th anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), SPARC coordinated a global community survey to take stock of progress made toward Open Access and to gauge the main obstacles to its continued adoption. The report detailing the findings of this survey has now been released, and can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. The survey was disseminated via online networks of those working to advance Open Access and responses from a wide range of countries and contexts were received. Two key items stood out among the responses: respondents emphasized the pressing need to realign incentives for scholars to share their work openly, and the need to lower costs related to Open Access publishing – particular in the case of APCs. The results of the survey are indicative of the transition from establishing Open Access as a concept\u2014which the BOAI did for the first time in 2002\u2014to the work needed to advance progress in making open the default for research and scholarship.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
