Opening Keynote: Olivier Dumon, Chief Product Officer, Elsevier

Why do all stakeholders (funders, institutions, labs, researchers, governments…and publishers) need to collaborate to enhance the info eco system supporting Research?

Alternative futures!  The current state, current developments & future developments

Beyond the well-loved journal and book formats, what are the future forms of research reporting and academic publishing? What new types of content are traditional publishers offering? What can we learn from start ups responding to scientists' cutting-edge informational needs? Panelists will share what alternative publishing formats are proving effective, what new models are in experimentation mode, and what may still lie ahead for scholarly communications.

Improving inclusivity for researchers in emerging markets

Andrea Powell, Director of Outreach and Publisher Coordinator, STM

The Global South has benefited from toll-free access to research publications for many years, thanks to initiatives like Research4Life, but the research output from most of the beneficiary countries has barely grown.  What are the obstacles faced by researchers in these areas, and what can the publishing industry do to level the playing field, while also expanding the pool of talent within these emerging economies?

14:00

“Forcing the Flip?”  The open access and open science movements are moving along at a faster pace and the demands of the funders and industry leaders are influencing publishers and others to look at new models and creative solutions.  Our panel will discuss the latest developments and the trends that are on the horizon. 

Moderated by: Simon Beale, SVP, Global Sales and Partnership Development, John Wiley & Sons

What we learned from Plan S

Keynote Speaker Jasmin Lange, Chief Publishing Officer, Brill

Over the last year, Plan S has gripped the attention of researchers, librarians and publishers alike. Applause, astonishment and critique took turns, and the discussion even reached the general media. Jasmin will share her view on how Plan S has already impacted academic publishing and outline Brill’s response to the changes in the market. Will humanities publishers survive the storm?
