Speaker
Description
In this presentation I will introduce the idea of the variety of perspectives on OA, and what it means in terms of policies undertaken. OA publishing has been mostly considered as a more or less defined process, whereby the various types of OA formats play a role in the monitoring and rewarding of OA publishing , against toll access publishing. In this presentation I will introduce the idea that the various positions in the academic domain require a variety of perspectives on OA publishing, as each stakeholder has its’ own view on what openness actually means.
Using Web of Science data for publishing activities, and Unpaywall data as the source to identify and tag the WoS publications, I will show that this variety of perspectives clearly shows the complexity of the discussion, and mostly certainly against the light of the implementation of Plan S.
