Publishing innovation and Open Science – the next 50 years

“Open Science” is the umbrella term used to describe the practice of science where others can collaborate and contribute, whilst sharing outputs, resources, methods and tools at any stage of the research process. It encompasses several broad themes, such as open access and open data, as well as research metrics, research integrity, and citizen science. Open Science is developing across all regions of the world, but at difference paces. As STM celebrates the milestone of its 50th Anniversary, this special seminar will look forward to the next 50 years of Open Science and provide insights on the Japanese perspective.

With publishers sitting at the interface between researchers, their research and the rest of the world, they are well placed to both contribute to, and lead the continued global discussions around Open Science. Through cross-industry collaboration and expertise across technology and innovation, publishers can help translate the aspirations of Open Science into reality.
