[Advisory] Berlin13 Announcement

[Lidia Borrell-Damian]

Dear Colleagues of the B13 Advisory Board,

It is the first time I write to the group and I would like to apologise for my unavailability beforehand. I have however been following up all the developments and suggestions through emails. I think the programme is coming along very nicely.

From the part of EUA we would like to contribute with the approaches to OA from the perspective of the overall university sector. For this occasion I would like to suggest Professor Jean-Pierre Finance, Chair of the EUA Expert Group on Science2.0/Open Science<http://www.eua.be/policy-representation/research-innovation-policy/science-2-0-open-science>.

Regarding the broader topic on the concepts of transformation I think that you have already invited speakers that will address the economic implications of open access. Just in case, I would like to suggest Professor Stephen Pinfield, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, who conducted a very interesting study on this issue.

Please, let me know if you have any questions or need further information.

I look forward to seeing you all in Berlin.

Best regards,

Lidia

Dear members of the B13 Advisory Board,

thank you again for your positive feedback and valuable input which you offered generously in 2016. Since the beginning of 2017 we have been busy to fine tune the Berlin13 agenda and fill the list of speakers. Please find an updated copy attached to this mail.

In case we forgot, overlooked or misunderstood an important issue we would appreciate your feedback until:

Friday, February 3, 2017

As a next step, we intend to put the program online in the week of February 6 with as much confirmation as possible (semi-final status).

A few remarks on how we picked up your proposals and included them in our agenda:

1.     We took up the issue of economic aspects of OA.
Jeffrey MacKie-Mason agreed to deliver a talk on this issue and explain the change effects from subscription fees to financing journal articles through APCs.

2.     We invited Louise Page from PLOS and Paul Peters from OASPA to make the voice of genuine OA publishers heard.

3.     We asked for country reports from Japan, Switzerland, Australia and Germany to get an overall idea of the status quo of OA in different countries.

4.     Kai Geschuhn will spell out “the goals of OA transformation again and tell us what action is needed to move away from more traditional deals in order to reach a pay-as-you-publish-model”.

5.     We invited several speakers to present different concepts and alternative models of transformation to the audience (e.g. The OA Cooperative Model, SCOAP3, Fair Open Access principles and Linguistics in OA).

As you will notice, some speaker confirmations are still pending and not all the headings have been finalized. That said, this will give you and us the opportunity of last minute changes in case you are really troubled with decisions we took.

We are looking forward to hear from you and wish you all the best for 2017,

Peter Wabitsch
