SciPost‘s Jean-Sébastien Caux and Quantum’s Christian Gogolin were both invited to speak about “the future of scientific publishing” at a dedicated session on that topic during YRM 2017 in Tarragona.
SciPost and Quantum, while independent endeavors, share many of their core values and have many common goals. Together with the participants of YRM, topics such as the opportunities and dangers of open-access publishing, the relevance of new technologies for publishing, and the influence of funding policies on publishing were discussed.
We thank the participants of YRM 2017 for the very interesting discussions and the organizers for the opportunity to participate!
