“What’s the way forward for philosophy journals?”
That’s the query on the coronary heart of an upcoming open online event happening on Wednesday, January seventeenth.
“The Way forward for Transformative Journals in Philosophy” is organized by the Open Entry working group—Sophia Crüwell (Cambridge), Chiara Lisciandra (Utrecht), and David Teira (UNED). They write:
Many publishers (like Springer or Elsevier) have declared their journals “transformative”, hoping to transition to a Gold Open Access regime, through which all papers will likely be freely accessible, since their authors could have lined the prices with an Author Processing Charge. However whereas opening entry to scientific publications permits a wider circulation of scientific work, this would possibly come at the price of hindering entry to scientific contributions from authors, establishments, or nations with restricted funding alternatives. European funding our bodies, just like the Coalition S, are actually surveying the scientific community to understand its views on this course of.
The 90 minute session could have a fast introductory overview of the scenario, delivered by an knowledgeable librarian, adopted by a panel dialogue with 4 journal editors and an open debate with the contributors. All through the dialogue, we’ll mirror on the steps to absorb response to present challenges, our choices as editors, and prospects for creating various publishing fashions. Total, the session will present a essential examination of the evolving panorama of educational publishing in philosophy.
