Future of open research in humanities and social sciences

Conference item : Presentation

What would a HSS-led vision of openness actually look like in practice, from open monographs and data to open review and licensing? How can stewardship reshape ideas of knowledge ownership in community-engaged research? And can “subscribe to open” models deliver a financially sustainable and globally equitable future for open access publishing? This online panel brings together three different contributions on the challenges and opportunities offered by open research, open access, and open science.

– Stewardship and knowledge ownership (Skyler Gordon and Tania Boster)
– MORPHSS (Materialising Open Research Practices in the Humanities and Social Sciences) (Sam Moore, Jenni Adams and Miranda Barnes)
– How is open access transforming African journal publishing? (David Mills, Stephanie Kitchen and Abebe Zegeye)
