Diversity in OA Publishing: What Does the Data Tell Us?

Diversity in OA Publishing: What Does the Data Tell Us?

Casey Pickering, Director, Product Marketing, CCC

The transition to Open Access (OA) models has emerged as a critical factor in the scholarly publishing community’s ability to achieve real progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), increasing society’s access to scientific research and data, and expanding the ability to publish research in scholarly journals. Leveraging aggregated and anonymized data from RightsLink for Scientific Communications, an OA workflow solution relied on by leading scholarly publishers, this session will explore year-over-year growth of OA publishing across developing and developed countries, trends in funding, discounting, waiver insights, and potential for a more inclusive future.
