Faculty, students and researchers across the campus will be interested in this discussion of the “open access” movement. The purpose of the forum is to discuss the future of research publishing and examine new scholarly publishing models. Open access to peer-reviewed, research articles and the dissemination of published research is an important issue for the entire academic community.
The forum will provide an opportunity to discuss the implications of these new publishing models with representatives from PubMed Central/NIH, the Public Library of Science, Yale faculty and the Yale University Library system.
