Scope
The *International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Elpub)*
reaches its 20th anniversary! Elpub 2016 continues the tradition, and
brings together scholars, publishers, lecturers, librarians,
developers, entrepreneurs, users and all other stakeholders
interested in issues regarding electronic publishing in widely
differing contexts.
Elpub 2016 will have a fresh look on the current ecosystem of
scholarly publishing including the positioning of stakeholders and
distribution of economic, technological and discursive power. Elpub
will also open the floor for emerging alternatives in how scholars
and citizens interact with scholarly content and what role
dissemination and publishing plays in these interactions. Questions
to be raised include: What is the core of publishing today? How does
agenda setting in emerging frameworks like Open Science function and
what is the nature of power of the referring scholarly discourses?
How does this relate to the European and world-wide Open Science and
Open Innovation agenda of funders and institutions, and how does this
look like in publishing practice?
The conference will investigate the position and power of players and
agents, - e.g. scholars and their networks, legacy and academia-owned
publishers, research institutions and e-infrastructures - as well as
their respective agendas. When looking at these interlinked topics,
we aim to sharpen the view for current challenges and ways forward to
reshape the publishing system. You are most welcome to join us in
this exciting discussion!
Topics include but are not restricted to:
Enhancing publishing, access and reuse
·Publishing models on the move (business and funding models, tools,
services and roles)
·Open access revisited (publishing solutions, mandates and
compliance, licenses, recommendations, disciplinary initiatives)
·New publishing paradigm (data publishing and citation, open pre/post
publication peer review, executable papers, nano-publications)
·Interoperability and standards (metadata, identifier, vocabularies,
repository integration, scalability, middleware infrastructure)
Quality, trust, skills and competencies
·Research integrity (authorship and contributor roles, scientific
rigor, fraud and paper retraction, reproducible research)
·Ethical and legal issues (authority, reliability, trust, copyright,
privacy)

editions)
