October 27, 2:25-3:15 pm— Open and Accessible: Towards New Models for Scientific Publishing, with Shella Keilholz

Kennesaw State University hosts a robust set of presentations during Open Access Week 2023 related to the following tracks:
Building and Sustaining Open Communities, Community over Commercialization, Open Educational and Research Practices, and Open Legalities.

Join MIT Libraries and the MIT Press for an online panel with the editor of Imaging Neuroscience, a new open access journal that launched after editorial teams from two Elsevier journals left the publisher over disputes around the high cost for authors.
We’ll explore some of the benefits and challenges of moving a journal from a large, commercial publisher to a non-profit university press, and how the new journal better prioritizes the interests of this community.
Speakers:
Stephen Smith, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Oxford and editor-in-chief of Imaging Neuroscience
Nick Lindsay, journals and open access director at MIT Press
Moderated by Katharine Dunn, scholarly communications librarian at MIT

Advancing Community-Led Open Infrastructure: Open Access Week Panel Discussion

Dr. Janneke Adema, associate professor, Research Centre in Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University
Dr. Élika Ortega, assistant professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Dr. Danny Kingsley, visiting fellow, Australian National University
