With the introduction of more Open Access (OA) mandates in recent years, including Plan S, time is of the essence to pilot new OA journal models and find ways to streamline publishing operations to meet the latest digital content standards sustainably. But in the changing research landscape, trying to figure out the best starting points for OA initiatives and then map out journal trajectories is becoming more challenging.
How are small and medium publishers working to develop OA journal strategies in the face of so many unknowns? This recorded panel session from the 2021 SSP conference explores this question, spanning:
- Publishers' perspectives on developing viable OA journal model pilots and examples
- Ways publishers are using Agile project management methods to launch journal pilots more rapidly
- The role of vendors in supporting new OA publishing models and initiatives
