Webinar Content
On Thursday 2 July 2020, MDPI organised the first BSPF2020 webinar, moderated by Prof. Dr. Johan Rooryck of cOAlition S. The talks, focusing on price transparency of publication services and prices, were given by Drs. Saskia de Vries from Fair Open Access Alliance, Delia Mihaila from MDPI, Dr. Alicia Wise from Information Power, Michael Markie from F1000 Research and Stephanie Paalvast from Brill. These were followed by a discussion and Q&A session.
Plan S is an initiative for Open Access publishing launched in September 2018. It was put forward by an international consortium of research funders called cOAlition S. Plan S requires that from 2021 scientific publications from research supported by participating funders must be published in compliant Open Access journals or platforms. The principles and implementation guidelines have been clearly stated and many funding agencies and organizations have endorsed the principles.
The webinar was organised within the framework of the 2nd Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum (BSPF), which will be held in Basel on 26-27 October 2020. A main topic of discussion of BSPF2020 will be the challenges facing learned societies in this transition to Open Access, but the conference will also cover a broad array of topics relevant to these challenges, like the development of alternative metrics, the evaluation and promotion of researchers, the OA price transparency, the current situation and limitations of transformative agreements, copyright, etc. Registration for the webinar is now open.
The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found below.
