Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) webinar “Research Openness and Privacy“

Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) is pleased to announce webinar which will focus on the interface between openness (open access, OA) and privacy.
In this OASPA webinar, we intend to discuss some aspects of this tension between openness and privacy:

• How to guarantee the privacy of researchers in the face of increasing research metrics gathering?
• How to deal with privacy questions with regard to large open data sets?
• How to balance legal privacy protections with cybersecurity concerns?
• How to balance openness with copyright and intellectual property rights?
• What is the role of funders, publishers, universities and libraries in balancing the need for privacy with the demand for openness, and long-term preservation of that openness?

The webinar will be chaired by Vincent W. J. van Gerven Oei (Punctum books, USA).

Guest speakers: Chris Bulock (University Library of California State University Northridge, USA), Farzaneh Badiei (Digital Medusa, USA), René Mahieu (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium), and Molly van Houweling (University of California, USA).
