Description
Join us for this Virtual Workshop organized by the Friends of the National Library of Medicine (FNLM) to be held April 13, 2022, 12:00PM – 2:00PM ET, online.
Inclusivity of scientific publishing is increasingly recognized as a major challenge at a time when rapid access to valuable and practically relevant research results is becoming a major public interest. The tectonic shift towards open access further underscores the need for fair and inclusive submission, peer-review, editing, and publishing practices, focal points of the discussions of this virtual workshop.
Generously sponsored by Oxford PharmaGenesis.
All times are ET.
