Turning policy into practice – opportunities and consequences for stakeholders in scholarly communication

Policies and guidelines on scholarly communication from national and European entities that address the access to scholarly outputs are abundant. Goals presented on a policy level are becoming increasingly harmonized. LundOnline 2024 explores the intersection between policies and guidelines on the one hand, and publishers, academic institutions, and libraries on the other, and examples of implementations from guiding documents. Themes include:

• The interplay between levels of policy and guideline initiatives in the open access publishing area.
• Pathways to sustainable university publishing and digital publication platforms
• Author rights & open licensing strategies
• Policies and publishers - the transition to an open scholarly communication landscape
• Responsible research assessment and open access publishing

LundOnline will be an opportunity for all scholarly communication stakeholders to meet, discuss and present their views on current challenges related to publishing and scholarly communication. More information about the conference and program: https://www.lundonline.lub.lu.se/

Join us and engage in explorative and constructive conversations on policy implementation and the future of scholarly communication!
