20th International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Göttingen, Germany)

Proceedings will be published open access by IOS Press. Selected papers will be

Scope

The International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Elpub) reaches its 20th 
anniversary! Elpub 2016 continues the tradition, and brings together scholars, 
publishers, lecturers, librarians, developers, entrepreneurs, users and all 
other stakeholders interested in issues regarding electronic publishing in 
widely differing contexts.


Elpub 2016 will have a fresh look on the current ecosystem of scholarly 
publishing including the positioning of stakeholders and distribution of 
economic, technological and discursive power. Elpub will also open the floor 
for emerging alternatives in how scholars and citizens interact with scholarly 
content  and what role dissemination and publishing plays in these 
interactions. Questions to be raised include: What is the core of publishing 
today? How does agenda setting in emerging frameworks like Open Science 
function and what is the nature of power of the referring scholarly discourses? 
How does this relate to the European and world-wide Open Science and Open 
Innovation agenda of funders and institutions, and how does this look like in 
publishing practice?

The conference will investigate the position and power of players and agents, - 
e.g. scholars and their networks, legacy and academia-owned publishers, 
research institutions and e-infrastructures - as well as their respective 
agendas. When looking at these interlinked topics, we aim to sharpen the view 
for current challenges and ways forward to reshape the publishing system. You 
are most welcome to join us in this exciting discussion!

Topics include but are not restricted to:

1.      Publishing models on the move (business and funding models, tools, 
services and roles)

2.      Open access revisited (publishing solutions, mandates and compliance,
