The next C4DISC Community of Practice call will be on *April 11, 2024* at
11 am Eastern / 4 pm UK. The topic will be *Open Access*.
*Open Access: our definition for the purposes of this call is when there
are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing content. In many
cases, the author pays for the article publication charge though there are
many different models across publishers and societies.*
*Questions for discussion*
- What are the biggest challenges from your organizations’ perspective?
- How is the article submission process addressing implicit bias by/from
editorial reviews?
- How are broader DEI practices translating into goals that support both
authors and the community?
- What is your experience in open pedagogy?
- Are authors/researchers receiving due credit when co-authoring; how do
we ensure equitable credit?
- Are DEI principles being integrated into OA initiatives to promote a
scholarly ecosystem that is accessible and inclusive of all?
Participants will have breakout room discussions around any aspect of this
topic they wish to bring and we will come together for the last part of the
call to hear key takeaways.
If you are a COP member you will receive the Zoom link ahead of the call.
