The B17 conference report offers pragmatic steps to address the current challenges facing the scholarly communication community and charts what we can accomplish collectively, based on the following needs expressed by the community:
- full transparency in publishing agreements
- fairer pricing frameworks
- support of diverse publishing models
- utilizing CC BY licensing to preserve author rights and enable academic agency over scholarly outputs—particularly crucial as AI reshapes research communication
- addressing the implications of current research assessment practices on the dynamics of the scholarly publishing ecosystem
- the integration of open science principles into institutional strategies
- The consensus was clear: open access has passed the tipping point. The continued transformation of scholarly communication now depends on our collective ability to turn progress into practice. Until we meet at the next Berlin Conference, the OA2020 Initiative will prioritize these issues, drawing on the strength and expertise of our community to advance our shared goals.
We invite you to read, share, and use this report with colleagues and other key stakeholders. Whether you're negotiating with publishers, developing policies, or building community support, these insights represent our collective strength and offer essential guidance and practical steps to drive meaningful transformation.
Stay tuned for upcoming OA2020 activities—opportunities to share learnings, collaborate more deeply, and amplify our impact.
Warm regards,
Colleen
