London conference on OA publishing in the arts and humanities
2:26 pm in Uncategorized by Peter Webster
The School of Advanced Study is staging a one-day conference on this topic, in London, on Friday July 15th.
This symposium brings together academics, journal editors, publishers, librarians, funding bodies and repository practitioners to consider issues of particular concern in the arts and humanities. It will examine the economic and public policy aspects of humanities OA, as well as the different modes in which OA is currently delivered for scholars in the humanities.
Confirmed speakers include Professor Shearer West (AHRC), Neil Jacobs (JISC), Dr Paul Ayris (Director of Library Services, UCL) and Tessa Harvey (Wiley-Blackwell).
There will also be presentations on OA journals produced by commercial publishers and on campus, and from specialist humanities repositories, including SAS-Space.
The conference is free to attend, with lunch provided. For further details, and to reserve a place, please contact Dr Peter Webster (Peter.Webster@sas.ac.uk)
