The Future of Academic Publishing: An Interactive Discussion on Developments in Scholarly Communication
Pre-Conference Day - Monday, 19 January, 2015
Education and Training Course in Publishing
Organized by Bas Straub (Konvertus, Haarlem), Anthony Watkinson (CIBER Research, Newbury), Martijn Roelandse (Springer, Dordrecht) and Rasjel van der Holst (IOS Press, Amsterdam) with associates.
Open Access has changed a lot within scholarly publishing. One thing that is often overlooked is the fact, that it required academia to become much more actively involved in the publishing process. This has created both a new way of thinking around publishing as well as a number of very interesting start-ups. The APE 2015 Pre-Conference Day will look at the "What is Next" for our industry.
Venue of the APE 2015 Pre-Conference Day:
NH Hotel Berlin Mitte
Leipziger Strasse 106 -111
10117 BERLIN, Germany

Times are changing: between Owning and Sharing
The next Paradigm Shift?
Wim van der Stelt, Vice President Publishing Strategy, Springer, Doetinchem
Enabled by technology the economy changes from an ownership to a sharing model. People in cities share their cars, their homes and their private life.
This sharing economy does not restrict itself to things people own: everything people have access to, be it legally or illegally, will be shared, if we like it or not.
The existing economic systems have a tendency to fight this trends under the ownership (copyright!) paradigm, but consumers are not interested in or even aware of these restrictions. So what will be next: allow everything to be shared endlessly for free?
STM publishers will need to accept this new thinking and adapt both business models and added value for their services. Publishing is a service to the author more than anything else, and the industry is shifting into that direction.
I will discuss the impact of all this on a couple of issues in our industry like (open) access, TDM, social sharing networks, MOOCs (more to come?).
