The Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) invites non-profit organizations that are active in the area of open access publishing of linguistic materials to the 1st Linguistic Open Access Forum. The goal of the forum is to increase the share and quality of non-profit open access publishing in linguistics. Publishing initiatives, linguistics students and researchers who share the following interests are invited to attend the forum:
- attract researchers to non-commercial open access publishing
- network with non-profit initiatives in linguistics
- recruit linguists to volunteer for open access initiatives
- share information about funding opportunities for open access
The forum is scheduled for May 7th, 2015 from 14:00 to 17:30 and will take place at the ZAS facilities at Pariser Str. 1 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
Exhibitors are offered a posterboard and a small round bar table (60 cm diameter) to set-up their exhibit at 13:00. Professor Johan Rooryk, the executive director of cOAlition S and editor in chief of Glossa, as well as a well-known linguist, will present a keynote lecture on current challenges and opportunities in open access publishing. After the keynote, some time will be set aside for lightning presentations of the exhibitors. From 15:30 to 17:30, the exhibits will be open to the public. While participation is free for students and researchers, the participation fee for exhibitors is 100 Euro. The fee includes the registration of up to two staff to set-up and man the exhibit. Exhibitors with very small revenue can be exempted from the fee. The request to be exempted must be included with the application email.
