For the past few years, the Cambridge Office of Scholarly Communication with Cambridge University Libraries have hosted an annual conference to highlight a specific area of Open Research at Cambridge. We are delighted to share the programme for this year’s Cambridge Open Research Conference on Community-led Open Scholarship in Cambridge, to be held at the West Hub on Tuesday 13 May.
The self-organised research communities across the University of Cambridge who publish their own journals and publishing projects have been attracting attention recently as a researcher-controlled alternative to traditional academic publishing. Cambridge contains a flourishing ecosystem of DIY projects across all disciplines, from student-led publications through journals organised by academic departments to those hosted within the library.
Our hybrid, free, one-day, event is split into two sessions. The morning session, we will hear from practitioners and service providers of community-led publishing. The afternoon session will host a practical workshop to explore how researchers can publish their own journals and will be led by Dr Sam Moore, Scholarly Communication Specialist at Cambridge University Library.
This event warmly welcomes University of Cambridge and external researchers, students, librarians and administrators at every career stage.
