Now in its 9th year, COASP is a vital conference for the open access
publishing community to gather to develop and advance discussions,
relationships, policy and research around open access publishing. As
in previous years, delegates from a wide range of backgrounds will be
brought together for an exciting range of panels, events, and
networking opportunities. We are proud to consistently offer global,
diverse perspectives on publishing each year, and welcome attendees at
all stages of their careers who work in publishing, librarianship,
government, higher education, funding agencies, nonprofits, and other
affiliated industries. Community and collaboration is at the heart of
open access publishing, and we are excited to offer both again at
COASP this year for all those working in open access around the world.
Speakers so far confirmed include Jean-Claude Burgelman (European
Commission), Jessica Polka (ASAPbio), Louise Page (PLOS), Robert Kiley
(Wellcome Trust), Vanessa Proudman (SPARC Europe), Mikael Laakso
(Hanken School of Economics), Danny Kingsley (University of
Cambridge), Jean-Sébastien Caux (University of Amsterdam), and Paul
Peters (Hindawi).
Panel topics this year are: The market for APCs; Open infrastructure
in scholarly communications; Research evaluation and assessment; Open
peer review in both journal publishing and in open access books and
monographs publishing.
The full program for the conference will be announced as soon as possible.
We hope to see as many of you in September as possible! Please feel
free to discuss the conference on social media using the hashtag
#COASP9.
Best wishes,
Leyla
