ASLO Town Hall Meeting on Open Access Publishing

Important information that will impact the way you publish in the future.  Be sure to attend!

As governments begin to mandate grant recipients publish in open access journals, societies are deliberating a transition to open access. Early estimates show that moving L&O to open access could result in author charges of roughly $2500 per paper. How much more are you willing to pay to publish your next paper in an open access journal?

Come to this roundtable discussion to hear about developments in open access and how they affect the activities of non-profit scientific societies like ASLO. Topics include alternative business models for funding various levels of access and their advantages and disadvantages. Please plan to attend this important session to get your questions answered and provide feedback to your societies.
