a diverse range of panels, events, and collaborative opportunities to
bring together the open access community. With open access now at the
top of the agendas of global governments, universities, libraries,
funders, and policy makers, and of critical importance to researchers
at all stages of their careers, COASP offers a crucial space for those
working in open access around the world to come together and discuss
developments, innovations, and best practices, and to make and build
upon collaborations old and new.
Keynote speakers for this year are Heather Joseph (Executive Director,
SPARC),MacKenzie Smith (University Librarian, University of
California, Davis), Hilda Bastian (Chief Editor, PubMed Health/PubMed
Commons), Meredith Morovati (Executive Director, Dryad), and Jerry
Sheehan (Assistant Director for Scientific Data & Information, White
House Office of Science and Technology Policy - TBC).
Panel discussions are scheduled to cover: ‘Technology & Innovation’,
‘Non-APC Publishing’, ‘Evaluation’, and ‘Open Scholarship
Initiatives’. A pre-conference reception for delegates will be held on
the evening of Tuesday 20th September.
The full program for the conference is available on the OASPA website
