Karger Sponsors Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing
Karger co-sponsored and joined the 9th annual Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing (COASP), held by the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) 20.–21. September. COASP brought representatives of publishers, libraries, funders, and others in the community to Lisbon to discuss all aspects of open science, including infrastructure, collaboration, peer review, and the future of Open Access.
Presentations will be available on the OASPA website, and many slides and commentary can be viewed on Twitter under #COASP9. The consensus is that Open Access is here to stay, and the task now is to keep innovating improvements.
Membership in OASPA assures that Karger fulfills strict criteria and meets various standards for Open Access publishing.
