ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Scholarly communication deals with the systems and processes involved in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Scholars can’t help but have to navigate the complex issues around author rights, access, costs, new models of publishing, peer-review, and compliance with research funder policies. These scholarly communication components are continually evolving along with changes in technical infrastructure, the economics of publishing, knowledge preservation, and social practice.
Learn how scholarly communication models are evolving from the authors’, publishers’, and libraries’ perspectives. The presenters will share and discuss their approach in adapting and navigating the issues surrounding this topic.
