Location: Li Ka Shing Center (LKSC) Room 101
A presentation on the two-decade rise of open access publishing models, setting out the open access story of global impact, top-ranked journals, fee and no-fee journals, mega-journals, academic freedom and scholar-publishers, and, yes, "predatory OA publishers." John Willinsky has been studying this opening of research and scholarship for the last fifteen years, while actively contributing to its development by creating the leading open source publishing platform (Open Journal Systems) used by thousands of open access journals around the world.
