What?

This webinar takes a deep dive into the prospect of a zero embargo model by:

  • exploring initiatives and barriers to harmonise secondary publishing rights (SPR) legislation;
  • examining how SPR legislation can go from a national to an international level so that publicly funded research output will be shared openly and without any embargo period; and,
  • providing insights on how SPR can enable the immediate access to research findings, the course of action needed to get there, and identify which stakeholders must act.

The Webinar

This event builds on KR21’s research on secondary publishing rights, driven by LIBER, that resulted in a thorough report accompanied by a helpful infographic. It further complements our previous KR21 webinar on enabling the reuse of the scholarly publication.

Our speakers will start by briefly presenting their perspectives on challenges in harmonising SPR legislation across Europe and the symbiosis with other instruments, such as the rights retention strategy (check our report on that) and the US initiative to implement a zero embargo campaign. Afterwards, we have reserved 40 minutes for a lively panel discussion that will engage the audience.
