Counting down to CISPC 2019 – Delivering the Open Research Agenda

It's four months until the next Research Information event – Challenges in the Scholarly Publishing Cycle – and plans are progressing fast.

CISPC 2019 is a one-day event, and will be held on 20 November at the London Art House, in the London Borough of Islington.

With the tagline 'Delivering the Open Research Agenda', our 2019 conference will provide librarians and information professionals with an invaluable insight into best practice around this theme.

With funders placing an increasing emphasis on open research, librarians are faced with the challenge of changing entrenched practices among researchers – particularly around the submission stage.

Research Information editor Tim Gillett said: 'At CISPC 2019, we will be bringing together speakers that have addressed this challenge head-on, and who will share their experiences and expertise with fellow scholarly communication professionals.

'Six presentations have been confirmed so far, plus a workshop and various networking opportunities, and we are expecting to announce the keynote speaker within the next few days.'

• Who should attend:
• Librarians/information professionals wanting to improve researcher support and communication in the open research era;
• Researchers/academics wanting to understand the benefits and challenges of delivering open research;
• Publishers who want to develop platforms and submission channels that support the open research agenda; and
• Vendors/service providers of tools that serve open research.

Delegate rates: academics/librarians £100; vendors/publishers £250
