We had quite a few online events during Open Access Week (October 20-26), and some of our discussions are archived online. If you’d like to watch and listen to our interviews about Open Access in the Global South, or read the Reddit thread about the future (or lack thereof…) of journals, you can visit the links below:

Open Access in the Global South

Originally intended to be a Google Hangout with Abel Packer of Scielo and Rosario Rogel of Redalyc, we had to split this discussion into two separate interviews about these open access platforms in Latin America. Abel Packer’s interview was broadcast live, and Rosario Rogel’s was prerecorded, but both are now available on our YouTube channel, and embedded below.

 

Reddit Science AMA

Rebecca Lawrence answered questions about F1000Research and about the future of scientific publishing in this Reddit Science AMA. A lot of people had questions about publishing, or wanted to share their own ideas about the future of journals (which overlaps a lot with what we’re already doing!) and Rebecca spent several hours trying to address all the questions!

 

Web demo

There is a video of the web demo that we did during Open Access Week, but it’s not yet in a format that we can upload online. When it’s available, we will also upload it to YouTube, so make sure to subscribe to our channel!
