DESCRIPTION:\n	Study of Open Access Publishing. \n\n	What publishers offer
 \, what researchers want.\n\n	Facts for publishers\, funding agencies and 
 libraries.\n\n	 \n\n	The SOAP project (Study of Open Access Publishing ht
 tp://soap-fp7.eu)\, describes and analyses the open access publishing land
 scape as well as exploring the risks and opportunities of the transition t
 o open access publishing for libraries\, publishers and funding agencies. 
 The project partners would like to invite you to the SOAP Symposium\n\n	on
  January 13th\, 2011 in Berlin\, at the Harnack House\n\n	(the day after t
 he APE2011 conference)\n\n	This event will present the final results of SO
 AP. Definitive facts about open access publishing with in-depth analysis w
 ill foster a lively debate between key stakeholders who will elaborate on 
 these groundbreaking findings.\n\n	The audience for this event are publish
 ers (open access and not) (re-)considering their business models\, librari
 es considering financial steps for the support of open access\, funding ag
 encies and policy makers evaluating options for open access publishing. An
 d of course anyone with a keen interest in this transformative disruption 
 in scholarly communication.\n\n	Over its two-years duration\, the project 
 has performed the most detailed study so far of the current supply and suc
 cess of gold open access journals\, publishers and models\, spotlighting t
 he amazing difference between large and small publishing houses and learne
 d societies\, licensing practices and business models. (Preliminary result
 s are available).\n\n	The project performed a comprehensive survey of opin
 ions and attitudes on open access of 50000 researchers across all discipli
 nes and around the world. This largest survey to date shows that "one size
  does not fit all"\, and there are myriad factors that libraries\, publish
 ers and funding agencies have to consider to trace a path through these sh
 ifting sands (Preliminary results are available).\n\n	By the time of the w
 orkshop\, the “demand” for open access publishing and the “supply”
  will have been further analysed with further input from leaders in the fi
 eld\, presenting a picture of open access\, and well established facts\, o
 n which to base decisions shaping the scholarly communication of the futur
 e.\n\n	The event will also celebrate the release in the public domain of t
 he data collected by the SOAP survey\, with a hands-on workshop for those 
 interested in mining this valuable resource for further re-use.\n\n	Note: 
 The project is funded by the European Commission comprises publishers (Bio
 Med Central\, SAGE Publication Ltd.\, Springer Science and Business Media)
 \, research institutions (CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Researc
 h\, Max Planck Society) and funding agencies (STFC - Science & Technology 
 Facilities Council UK).\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?conf
