[visionlist] VSS Satellite- Publishing, Open Access, & Open Science

[Alex Holcombe]

Here is the blurb and some details of our VSS satellite:
 
Publishing, Open Access, & Open Science
11am-12pm, Friday 11 May (the morning that VSS starts) in Royal Ballroom 1-3

We all hope for an open system of science in which:
	• Journal articles are inexpensive or free.
	• Peer review is fair and efficient.
	• Experiments can be fully replicated by anyone.
Achieving these goals is more feasible than ever, but most publishers, journals, and researchers have made few changes to the way they do business. This satellite will include discussion of possible solutions.

Chairs: Jon Pierce and Alex Holcombe
