Global Access to Science - Scientific Publishing for the Future

The Program Committee invites proposals for papers and posters for the 2007 Annual IATUL Conference, which will be held in Stockholm from 11-14 June.

Science publishing is rapidly changing due to the introduction of
advanced electronic media which give new dimensions to the
world-wide access to scientific results. How research is
undertaken, is also changing, with the rapid development of newly
established areas such as E-science. The scholarly communication
of the future will be heavily influenced by the initiatives taken
by universities and information providers of today. Scholars all
over the world are engaged in this process and traditional
peer-reviewed publishing is being transformed in the light of
different forms of Open Access. National programs are being set
up to support initiatives and actions to find ways of
facilitating free online access to government funded research.

The conference will discuss Global Access to Science - Scientific
Publishing for the Futute. The theme is subdivided into five
topics. We try to give examples of the subjects we expect your
contributions to cover:

A. The emergence/development of new tools and services for
employing and managing the ever increasing Sci Tech Information
(Semantic web, E-science, Data-/Textmining)

B. Public access to publicly-funded research (National
Programmes for Open Access, Place of Repositories in the New Sci
Tech Information Infrastructure, Long Term Access and Digital
Archives)

C. (The need for) New metrics for assessing the
importance/impact of research findings/results/publications

D. The Economics of Scholarly Journals in the new Journal
Environment. (New Open Access models; Hybrid Journals; Impact on
Big Deal Pricing; Handling of Publication Charges; Experiences of
Open Access/Hybrid Journal Publishers; Investigation of Author
Preferences)

E. Bridging the gap in dissemination of and access to
information (initiatives to overcome obstacles in promoting and
disseminating Sci Tech Information from outside Europe and North
America, initiatives to promote free access to Sci Tech
Information for the developing world)
