Description

The LSE Public Policy Group and SAGE, in association with the British Academy and the Academy of Social Sciences, present this must-attend event for humanities and social science researchers as part of Open Access Week 2013.

Focusing on the opportunities and challenges that open access presents for the humanities and social sciences, the conference will provide stimulating contributions from all sides of the OA debate, with the goal of encouraging and shaping HSS-relevant engagement. Featuring panellists from academia, funders, publishers and learned societies, it will address the foundational questions of ‘Why Open Access?’ and ‘What type of Open?’ before considering the potential benefits that OA could provide for HSS and the possible routes towards more open futures.

Leading up to the event, the LSE Impact of Social Sciences blog will also be covering the on-going discussion over open access in the humanities and social sciences. Join in on the debate at lseimpact.com.

10.45 Panel 1: Why OA? Which OA?

How well do the ideas behind open access fit with characteristics of HSS? What are the drivers, goals and costs of open access in HSS; is open access the only means of achieving those goals? What is the most appropriate model (or models) of open access for the HSS disciplines, especially in relation to the re-use of scholarly works?

14.45 Panel 2: New Horizons? Open Access and the potential for positive change in HSS research communication

Where could open access take us in HSS? How might it bring positive change to established systems of peer review, research presentation, scholarly collaboration and data-sharing? What are the dangers of such shift in practice, and how might they be mitigated?
