New Avenues for Electronic Publishing in the Age of Infinite Collections and Citizen Science : Scale,

The conference attracts participants from all the areas affected by electronic publishing--writers, publishers, distributors, librarians, readers, researchers, and so on--and includes both general and technical tracks. The focus of the 2015 sitting was infinite collections and citizen science. The 26 papers discuss such matters as lay summaries for research articles: a citizen science approach to bridge the gap in access, open access and research assessment: dealing with British open access requirements in practice, journals' editorial policies: an analysis of the instructions for authors of Croatian open access journals, open data in global environmental research: findings from the community, and exploring professional social networks and opinions about scholarly communication tools among Italian astrophysicists.
