[IRTalk] Call for contributions for the 2022 OASPA Online Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing

[Bernie Folan]

The OASPA annual conference brings the open access community together to
discuss new developments and innovations in scholarly publishing, and unite
in our shared goal to enable research around the world to be openly
accessible.

The 2022 online conference will encourage participants to think Beyond Open
Access to equitable open scholarship and science practices and will address
many timely and fundamental topics relating to open scholarly
communication.

These include, and are not limited to


   -

   The University Leadership Role in Delivering Equitable Open Access
   -

   Connecting Vision to Practice: what needs to happen to ensure recent
   recommendations are met
   -

   Common Good and Open Access
   -

   Humanities and Open Scholarship
   -

   Indigenous Knowledge
   -

   Open Science Knowledge Amongst Researchers
   -

   Has open science failed to influence research assessment?
   -

   Pathways to Open Access: Values-based publishing models


OASPA 2022 will be held online to ensure wide participation and the
opportunity to welcome everyone for collective reflection on our endeavours
to ensure scholarship is open and accessible to all. We are pleased to have
been able to freeze registration rates for the third year in a row.

The Program Committee now invites organisations and individuals to submit a
proposal to us for ‘Poster Lightning Talk’ presentations. These are short
talks showcasing new projects, ideas or initiatives accompanied by a poster
(guidelines will be provided).  There will be a brief q&a and a mechanism
for online engagement.

We particularly welcome submissions from beyond North America and Europe.
Please share this call widely within your networks.

All proposals should be submitted by June 17, 2022 via this form
<https://forms.gle/soouAENaRHVbWtkW6> which asks for a brief description
(up to a maximum of 300 words) of your proposal. Registration costs for the
authors of successful proposals will be waived. This information can also
be found on this blog post
<https://oaspa.org/call-for-contributions-for-the-2022-oaspa-conference/>.

Recordings, slides and posters from previous conferences, as well as
information on how to register, can be found on our website here

We look forward to receiving your suggestions!

Best wishes,

Bernie
