2013 SSP 35th Annual Meeting
Seminar 02 – Open Access Workshop…
(Organizers: Hob Brooks, Mary Anne Baynes)
This workshop is designed as a forum to bring together publishers that may be considering a foray into the complex and confusing world of Open Access journal publishing with a handful of experienced OA publishers to discuss the real world challenges and opportunities presented by the OA model. The leaders will guide participants through two separate breakout sessions, each focused on a unique challenge and opportunity presented by OA.
The breakout sessions will frame the issue in a generic, non-publisher specific format which will help participants understand the issues they will want to consider, the questions they need to be asking themselves and their organization, potential pitfalls they could experience and of course the potential benefits that could be achieved by successfully implementing an OA program.
By the end of the workshop, participants should feel more comfortable with the task of developing an OA strategy for their organization.
