We all know now that it is the
aim of the government to give the general public access to all scholarly
publications. Yet this has to be just the first step if such access is in the
main other than a gesture. What can scholars, publishers, funders and librarians
do to make scholarship accessible in a real sense to practitioners and scholars
in different disciplines as well as the public through interpretation and
explanation? What are they actually doing and planning to do?
This conference
comes just in time to hear presentations on the initial launch of the Royal
Society Science as a Public Enterprise project (Professor Brian Collins), the
Gateway to Research from Research Councils UK (Drs Astrid Wissenburg) and the
relevant aspects of the Finch Report (Dr. Michael Jubb).
Discount for ALPSP members.
