Program Description:
Open Access was conceived as a mode of publishing that would put control over the dissemination of research in the hands of the scholarly community, and provide expanded access to readers - a strategy “for serving the interests of research, researchers, and the institutions and societies that support research”.

However, two decades after the Budapest Open Access declaration, a shrinking number of corporations control knowledge production, rather than researchers, the scholarly/membership societies that support them, or the communities they study. Further, the anticipated relief to library budgets that Open Access was imagined to bring is yet to materialize. Read & Publish offers are everywhere and it is often difficult to assess when to accept or reject such offers.

This session will review current directions in commercial read & publish offers and give concrete examples of when it may be appropriate to reject such offers using real but anonymized data from at least 2 recent offers. Then, the presenter will give an overview of community-driven publishing and lead a discussion of which direction open access is heading in and elicit participant thoughts on which direction it should be headed in.
Learning Outcomes:
Attendees will get hands-on experience evaluating R&P offers.
Attendees will get the opportunity to exchange ideas about the infrastructure of knowledge production that underlies all Scholarly Communication, including Open Access Publishing.
