Description
This session will cover some of the recent developments in academic publishing. The first part addresses publishing in research projects that receive funding from the Horizon Europe program. In this first part, you will learn about the Plan S open access publishing requirements endorsed by the Horizon Europe program, and how to comply with them. In addition, you will learn about other publishing-related practices recommended in Horizon Europe funded projects, such as publishing pre-prints, pre-registrations, and registered reports.
In the second part, we will review the new “overlay publishing” concept that utilizes preprint repositories and discuss why it can revolutionize the market of scientific publishing. There is a clear need for that, as the costs of scientific publishing are rapidly increasing – despite the fact that we live in the era of technologies that allow rapid worldwide communication of results through free preprint repositories, making the dissemination of results easier and cheaper than it has ever been. This raises the following questions: Do we need traditional journals anymore? If so, what will their role be in the future?
