Knowledge Sharing In Global Health Research ¬ The Impact, Uptake And Cost Of Open Access To Scholarly Literature
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

ELPUB2018 Call for Proposals and Participation: Extended abstract due on January 10, 2018 Conference dates and venue: June 22-24, 2018 University of Toronto, Canada See details on submission and important dates: http://elpub.net <http://elpub.net/> The theme for ELPUB2018 is Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure. The question of sustainability in the open access movement has been widely debated, yet satisfactory answers have yet to be generated. Market-driven versions of open access and open science are growing in prevalence, as well as a growing dependence on commercial publishers for the infrastructures needed to openly and democratically create and communicate knowledge. This year¹s theme challenges us to collaborate on the design and implementation of a sustainable community-driven research communication infrastructure that is also inclusive of diverse forms of knowledge making and sharing. If you are interested in sharing your research, ideas, and tools that contribute to the theme or just join in the discussion, please consider participating in the meeting. In the meantime, you may wish you sign up for the newsletter to receive updates on the conference. http://goo.gl/memGLc Leslie Chan and Pierre Mounier, Conference co-chairs About ELPUB ELPUB 2018 marks the 22nd edition of the International Conference in Electronic PUBlishing and the 10th anniversary of the meeting being held in Toronto. ELPUB has featured research results in various aspects of digital publishing for over two decades, involving a diverse international community of librarians, developers, publishers, entrepreneurs, administrators and researchers across the disciplines in the sciences and the humanities. It is unique as a platform for both researchers, professionals and the broader community. The Conference is held annually and contains a multi-track presentation of refereed papers as well as invited keynotes, special sessions, demonstrations, round tables, and poster presentations. The entire collection of conference papers since its inception is available in the ELPUB Digital Library <https://elpub.architexturez.net/>, and all refereed papers are indexed by major indexing services. -- Regards Siva Shankar K -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
