Robert-Jan Smits gave an impassioned update – and defence – of Plan S at APE 2019 in Berlin
The city of Berlin will once again play host to the APE conference in January, with the tagline: Publishing 2020: Ramping up Relevance.
The APE conferences are aimed at providing a better understanding of scholarly communication and the role of information in science, education and society.
