Description
Some learned societies are increasingly dependent on publishing revenues, yet as open access becomes the new normal, researchers and librarians alike are questioning expensive subscription and publishing deals.
The Office of Scholarly Communication presents a panel debate for Open Access Week 2018 and Cambridge Festival of Ideas 2018. Join representatives from learned societies in the arts and sciences, including the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Historical Society, in conversation with their members within the University of Cambridge to ask ‘what is a learned society in the 21st century?’ How can the societies sustain their place in the academic landscape and answer the challenges created by open access requirements?
We are grateful to the following people for participating in the discussion:
- Richard Fisher, Royal Historical Society
- Professor Jonathan Goodman, Department of Chemistry
- Dr Catherine Hills, Cambridge Antiquarian Society
- Dr Danny Kingsley, Deputy Director, Cambridge University Library, Scholarly Communication and Research Services
- Professor Jeremy Sanders, Department of Chemistry
- Stuart Taylor, Royal Society
- Professor Alexandra Walsham, Faculty of History
- Emma Wilson, Royal Society of Chemistry
