Scientific OA Publishing: Scholarly Communication
The Visoriai Information Technology Park, the Science Publishing Cluster together with The Association of Lithuanian Serials, Vilnius University, and the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania are continuing the event cycle designed for the scientific publishing community and now invite participants to take part in new digital seminars focused on the most advanced breakthroughs in global scholarly publishing. These lectures and seminars will emphasize the need to foster cooperation between scientific institutions (publishing houses) and science and business for developing and applying the most recent scholarly publishing solutions in the public sector.
This event cycle began with the Open Access Scientific Publishing Conference 2019.
Two internet seminars will be held, during which we will take an advanced look at the technologies and law regulations associated with increasing the dissemination of published materials.

When You Register Content with Crossref, What Does That Mean?
Speaker:
Interim Crossref Community Director Rachael Lammey
Abstract:
Getting a DOI for your publications can seem like just ticking a box, but understanding what persistent identifiers and their associated metadata enable is key to helping your content be discovered, accessed and used. What metadata can I send you? How is it used? Who uses it? How can I fix it if it’s wrong? The presentation will address these key questions, and hopefully some more!

Open access: from the planet Gutenberg to the Thuringian galaxy.
Speaker:
Doc. Dr. Marija Stonkienė, expert on information law
Abstract:
When we speak of open access, often the most emphasis is put on how access to works of science, literature, or art is rendered free. But is this the true essence of open access? What can users legally do with works (objects of intellectual property) when they have “free access” to them? What is the legal content of open access? What are the legal aspects of publishing practice associated with granting open access? What subjects operate within the complex legal relationships pertaining to open access? Which legal issues are brought to light by granting open access in Lithuania?
