SUMMARY:CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team Community Call – Publishing Standards
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 26\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 – 1:30pm ET \nRegistration \nThe CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team welcomes you to join our next community call about publishing standards.  \nIn 2022\, several publishing organizations (DOAJ\, COPE\, OASPA\, and WAME) jointly published updated Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. These principles are just one set of publishing standards that we encounter when supporting journals\, and it can be challenging to help journals adjust their practices and policies to meet external benchmarks. \nIn this practice-based meeting we invite you to share questions\, ideas\, obstacles and perspectives about the different publishing standards that you’ve encountered. If you have problems\, solutions\, a cry for help\, or would just like to commiserate with your colleagues\, please add your name to our speaker list by February 12 with a brief description of the topic you’ll be speaking about. Some ideas might include: How is everyone handling DOAJ applications? What do you think about the new DIAMAS Best Practices Checklist? How are we approaching editorial teams when their policies need improvement?  \nFacilitation for this session will be in French\, but speakers are welcome to participate in either English or French\, and discussion will take place in both languages.  \nThis call will not be recorded\, but we will capture notes in a shared document that will be distributed after the call. \nAbout the CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team \nThe CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team seeks to support Canadian library publishing practitioners in their functional roles and to grow Canadian expertise and capacity in this area. Members include: \n\nSonya Betz (University of Alberta) – co-chair\nMark Swartz (Queen’s University) – co-chair\nSamantha MacFarlane (University of Victoria)\nÉdith Robert (UQAM)\nRichard Hayman (Mount Royal University)\nJordan Pederson (Guelph University)\nJeanette Hatherill (Coalition Publica)\nMike Nason (University of New Brunswick)\nTomasz Mrozewski (York University)\nBrianne Selman (University of Winnipeg)\nEmily Carlisle (Western University)\nMathieu Pigeon (Université de Montréal)

Zrelak\, Managing editor\, International Journal of Critical Care\nSherry Fox\, Executive Director\, Canadian Sociological Association / Société canadienne de sociologie\nSharla Lair\, Senior Strategist\, Open Access & Scholarly Communication Initiatives\, Lyrasis\nJeanette Hatherill\, Senior Coordinator for Coalition Publica\n\nAbout the CARL Library Publishing Engagement Team \nThe CARL Library Publishing Engagement Team seeks to support Canadian library publishing practitioners in their functional roles and to grow Canadian expertise and capacity in this area.
