Enabling the reuse of the scholarly publication: modus operandi et modus desiderandi

In this webinar, you will learn about the preliminary findings of two KR21 projects, Project Zero on secondary publishing rights and Project Retain on rights retention, and how they help pave the way to Open Access. We invite the community of research libraries to open a dialogue among Open Science stakeholders about the options, good practices, lessons learnt, challenges and impact of two legal instruments: Secondary Publishing Rights (SPR) and Rights Retention and Open Licensing. Our expert speakers share valuable insights and real-world examples of how these mechanisms have been applied around Europe.
