UKSG November Conference – Open Scholarship 2021: the good, the bad and the ugly
November 17, 2021 @ 09:00 – 17:15 GMT
Join us for the 2021 UKSG November Conference – “Open Scholarship 2021: the good, the bad and the ugly”. This year’s event will take place online over two consecutive half days. Wednesday 17th November: 9.30am GMT to approx. 12pm and Thursday 18th November: 1.30pm GMT to 5pm.
Summary
The shift away from paywalls and towards open access continues to fundamentally change every area of our sector with new roles, new business models and new power centres. Or is ‘the power’ in scholarship still centred in the same overall hands? Can everyone be a winner in this new world, or do some groups face continued – worse – challenges in the drive to make scholarship open?
This event brings together voices from across our sector to take a holistic view of open scholarship, showing the flipsides and squeezed middles. Almost ten years on from the Finch Report, we continue to be in a time of transition. We’ve travelled far, but the road is no less bumpy – and what happens to those who fall behind?
