[IP-OA_Forum] OASPA Online Seminar announcement: What do we mean by quality in open access publishing?

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

OASPA is pleased to announce our next virtual seminar will take place on Thursday 6 February 2025, 3pm GMT/UTC and will focus on quality in open access (OA) publishing. 

What do researchers expect from OA journals and what do OA journals offer? 

Are there any regional differences in the perception of publication quality? 

During this webinar we will hear from researchers and journal editors from East and North Africa, a librarian from Southeast Europe and digital publishing and dissemination service from North America. Efforts to establish sets of criteria that OA publishers need to meet in order to ensure equitable, transparent, and high-quality OA publishing will be presented. We will also discuss how libraries and other scholarly communication actors could contribute to the evidence-based notion of quality in scholarly publishing.

Full details can be found on the latest blog post.

Please join us live for this free online seminar.
