7. Publishing and Publishers (Transformative Agreements, Predatory Journals, Peer Review Process, Curating Pre-prints and Post-prints).
   

Call for Proposals

Please consider submitting a conference paper and sharing your knowledge. At this point, you do not need to be certain whether you can be present in person at the meeting or will attend virtually.
