Drawing on recent research into the changing landscape of UK learned society publishing\, published in UKSG Insights\, we’ll examine how the transition to open access is affecting society publishers and explore emerging frameworks for assessing the broader value publishers of all kinds bring to the scholarly ecosystem. While the session will focus primarily on journal publishing\, we’ll also touch on the role of open access book agreements within the debate over value in academic publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for this event recording here. \n\n\n\nSlides\n\n\n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen\, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too! \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized\, timely\, accessible\, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreat to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards. \nEmma Thompson\, Glasgow Caledonian University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThis is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nIf you have already registered and are subsequently unable to attend\, please do not cancel your registration – only active registrations will receive the recording in a follow-up e-mail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.
