Registration is now open for the *2021 OASPA Conference on Open Access
Scholarly Publishing* which will take place online during the week
beginning Monday 20 September 2021. Full information can be found on the
conference page <https://oaspa.org/conference/>.

The 2021 online conference will address many timely and fundamental topics
relating to open scholarly communication. These include, and are not
limited to

   - equity in knowledge and health
   - preprint impacts
   - 21st-century knowledge sharing systems
   - libraries and pathways to transformation
   - publishing skills and open research
   - the intended and unintended impacts of researcher incentives and
   policies on OA

OASPA 2021 will also offer a forum for collective reflection on the ongoing
impact of the pandemic and our endeavours to ensure scholarship is open and
accessible to all. The event will include panels, keynotes, an extended
opening discussion, and lightning poster talks - the lightning poster call
for proposals will open later this week.

The preliminary program will be available soon. Full information will be
made available on the conference page <https://oaspa.org/conference/> as it
becomes available or you can sign up here <https://t.co/6nvjCY7zJa?amp=1> for
