Open (Reliable) Access

Join us for a discussion with industry leaders as they explore what it takes to support reliable access and trustworthy information and approaches in support of open science.

About the Webinar

Open Access refers to making scholarly works available to the public at large free of charge. The sheer focus on ‘free’ may in fact obscure the need to ensure reliable access to information. The emergence of new publishing models has given rise to new challenges. When anyone can pay to publish, how do we ensure the reliability or trustworthiness of freely available scientific literature? Is it time to move past discussions on free access and consider the infrastructure, systems and functionality that support reliable access to information – be it the article or any of its underlying components such as code, data and methods? In this session, panelists will provide perspectives on open, reliable access to research – from the publishing and discoverability of trustworthy literature to considerations around infrastructure, tools and platforms that support access to said research.
