Jennifer Hart and Donna Thompson summarize the results of a survey they conducted of science subject publishers about their use of object identifiers (i.e. DOI, ORCiD) for book and journal publishing. For the rest of the session, they will conduct a lively plenary style discussion of any issues librarians have encountered related to open access transformative publishing agreements including read and publish and subscribe to open agreements. Representatives from several science publishers will be available to respond to issues raised.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will learn the extent to which publishers use object identifiers in their publications.
Attendees will define issues related to establishing transformative agreements with publishers.
Attendees will learn ways in which publishers in the sciences are working to support transformative agreements.
