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.
