[IRTalk] Announcing next OASPA webinar: OASPA’s Wayfinders: Increasing Equity in Open Access Publishing

[Bernie Folan]

OASPA is excited to announce our first webinar of 2024 is the inaugural
webinar in our new "Wayfinders" series - showcasing those publishers
increasing equity in OA in different ways, which will take place on Tuesday
January 23.

Throughout 2024 OASPA is amplifying ‘wayfinders’ – examples of those
increasing equity in OA in different ways. In our launch webinar of the
wayfinders series, discussion of four distinct models will spark thinking
around correcting current trajectories of (predominantly) inequitable OA.
This wayfinders webinar features science journals from two different
continents, books in the humanities, and a medical journal turning the
APC/waiver model on its head in favour of total inclusion.

OASPA’s wayfinders series brings to life practical case-studies helping all
organisations find their own way to more equity in OA. Full
information including
speaker biographies can be found on the latest blog post

.

This webinar will be chaired by OASPA's *Malavika Legge*. We welcome our
panelists - *Danny Burke, Ros Pyne, Meagan Phelan* and *Susan Veldsman.*
