Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation the format of the conference has been changed to allow its transition to a virtual conference

We welcome you to take part in a conference that strives to present and discuss the plurality of approaches to the scholarly communication, scholarly publishing and assessment (metrics). Themes of the PUBMET2020 conference include the following:

  • empowering next generation Open Scholarship: publications, research data, software, methods, educational resources, peer review

  • data management best practices and Open Research Data (ORDM and FAIR)

  • European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)

  • academic and research libraries: OA repositories and skilling and training programmes

  • catalyzing the Open Scholarship transformation by institutional policies and strategies

  • Open Scholarship and legal restrictions and obstacles (GDPR, copyright and licencing)

  • incentives and awards in Open Scholarship

  • sustainable models for Open Access publishing (economy and colours of OA publishing, enhanced publications, rebuilding trust, fake news)

  • quality of editorial work (editorial policies and standards, ethical issues, peer review process, authorship and contributorship)

  • Citizen Science and Open Science in Europe.
