Workshop on Dec 10, 2023: Shaping the future with researcher-run journals

Ahead of the AGU Fall Meeting, Seismica is hosting a free workshop on open access publishing and journal building. See Details below:

Please join us for a 3-hr workshop covering startup and longevity planning for researcher-run Diamond Open Access journals. The workshop will cover Diamond OA basics and the state of Earth Sciences publishing as well as “under the hood” details of community building, media and branding strategies, building for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in science publishing, and open data/code principles applied to journal design. Participants can expect a crash course in journal-building and will be invited to contribute to a future-looking white paper representing how we, the global research community, would like to see funding agencies support Open Access. There is no fee to participate. Refreshments provided. Limited to 50 participants.
