Diamond: the non-profit publishing alternative - Speakers: Susanne van Rijn en Lena Rhyzova Non-profit, scholar-led journals are a vital part of a healthy and diverse publishing landscape providing bibliodiversity and equitability. We’ll share with you the results of a recent survey among Dutch researchers highlights both the opportunities and the barriers they experience when considering publication in diamond open access journals. We’re also looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how the university and university library can help to forward diamond open access publishing. |

Evolutions in (open) digital publishing: from books to “Tapestries” – Speaker: Bob Stein We welcome Bob Stein for an in-person, interactive workshop on the Tapestry Project — an innovative scholarly communication platform. The Tapestry Project aims to enable the creation of non-linear presentations more in sync with the way our re-wired brains are beginning to understand the world — as a multi-faceted assemblage of related ideas — or for that matter, not unlike a curated museum show. We hope you will join us for a collective exploration of the affordances of Tapestries for research and teaching in the social sciences. |
