Wiley Research Seminar – Japan 2022

Wiley holds a research seminar for knowledge exchange that has been well received annually and after three years, we are back in person. 

A major trend related to research and publishing is open access and open research. Among them, the movement that has attracted particular attention in the last few years is the worldwide spread of the transitional subscription model ‘Transformative Agreement’, which dramatically increases open access publishing from universities and research institutes. Transformative agreements originated in Europe and have rapidly spread to the United States and the Asia-Pacific region. In April this year, a transformative agreement between four Japanese universities and Wiley began. These changes show that collaboration between stakeholders such as subscribing institutions, researcher communities, research funding agencies, and publishers creates new possibilities in scholarly communication.

Attendees heard the latest developments in scholarly publishing from domestic and foreign experts with the event theme of “Open Research: Now and Future”.

 

研究・出版に関わる大きな潮流が、オープンアクセス/オープンリサーチです。その中でも、ここ数年で特に注目される動きは、大学・研究機関からのオープンアクセス出版を飛躍的に増大させる出版購読モデル『転換契約』の世界的な普及です。欧州に端を発した転換契約は、最近になって米国やアジア太平洋地域にも急速に広がり、今年4月には日本の4大学とWileyによる転換契約が始まりました。このような変化は、購読機関、研究者コミュニティ、研究助成機関、出版社といった関係者間の協調が学術情報流通において新たな可能性を生むことを示しています。
今回のテーマは「オープンリサーチの今とこれから」となり、講演者のプレゼンテーションを交えながら、研究コミュニティが出版プログラムにおいて直面している重要な問題、課題、可能性を探ります。英語でのセッションには、日本語への同時通訳がつきます。
