Dear colleagues,

 

In celebration of International Open Access Week from 23 to 27 October 2023, the University of Hongkong Libraries is hosting a series of events in relation to Open Access, including seminars, interactive online activity and a campaign on social media. This year, the theme is “Community over Commercialisation”, which encourages a candid conversation about the approaches to open scholarship that prioritises the best interests of the public and the academic community. The seminar will also cover the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems, leading participants to discuss the concerns arising from the current commercialised model in scholarly publishing.

Abstract:

Peer Community In (PCI; https://peercommunityin.org/) is a disruptive revolution in science that is changing the publication landscape and shifting power from publishers to authors. PCI is a scholar-led non-profit association that creates communities of researchers who conduct peer-reviews on and recommend preprints in their scientific fields. It is supported by over 100 public research institutions and libraries from around the world with a sustainable long-term budget.

Dr. Gilad Feldman will discuss the growing challenges with the current science publication system, briefly introduce Peer Community In, Peer Community Journal, and Peer Community in Registered Reports and the hope that they represent, and share his HKU CORE team experience with PCIRR, with concrete examples showing how this new model is beneficial to both authors, universities, the academic community, and the general public.
