Date: December 17, 2024
Time: 12:00 – 1:30pm ET
Please join the CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team for our next community call! The theme for this call will be “flipping to diamond open access.”
No fee (diamond) open access journals have been around for many years, but it does feel like this model of scholarly publishing is suddenly having a moment. The second Global Summit on Diamond Open Access is taking place in December, the DIAMAS project continues to build momentum in Europe, and this year’s Open Access Week theme “Community over Commercialization” spurred many conversations about the place of diamond open access in academia.
How do we, as library publishers, support journals in moving towards diamond open access though our own service offerings? Our discussion will be informed by guest speakers, including:
- Patricia A. Zrelak, Managing editor, International Journal of Critical Care
- Sherry Fox, Executive Director, Canadian Sociological Association / Société canadienne de sociologie
- Sharla Lair, Senior Strategist, Open Access & Scholarly Communication Initiatives, Lyrasis
- Jeanette Hatherill, Senior Coordinator for Coalition Publica
