Has Open Access made us look at the concept of authorship differently? And how? On June 23, we invited a strong panel of guest speakers to help us uncover this topic – and share their perceptions and experience when it comes to authorship and OA publishing.

On June 15, we hosted an educational webinar and invited a strong expert panel of guest speakers to share their experiences and viewpoints when it comes to accessibility, affordability, and discoverability of scholarly content.

Many libraries and publishers negotiate agreements so that a researcher does not have to pay an article processing charge to get the final version of their work published Open Access. ​

In April, we unpacked this topic in this webinar, where we discussed the effect of OA on institutions, publishers, and submission system providers. The panel consisted of Matthew Goddard, Head & E-Resources Librarian at Iowa State University, Kate Horgan, Director of Client Services at Aries Systems, and Matthew Day, Head of Open Research Policy & Partnerships at Cambridge University Press. Perhaps common challenges related to institutional affiliation and author roles are determined at submission.

For our third session in our researcher-centric webinar series, we looked at funder requirements. Romy Beard and Laura Davidson took the lead in the webinar, guiding us through the most typical requirements from funders and some of the common issues that authors may encounter.

Open Access brings along many exciting opportunities to share scholarly knowledge more widely – but it doesn’t come without a cost.

On March 10, we hosted our first webinar in our new researcher-centric webinar series – an introduction to Open Access. Read a recap of our first researcher-centric webinar and have a look at the recording!

Curious to know why many publishers go for third party providers instead of keeping things in-house? We sure were! So, we invited Shelley Allen from UK-based scholarly publisher, Emerald Publishing to join us for our second webinar to learn more about their experience with technology partnerships.

On January 27, we kicked off our webinar series with our first webinar on “Making Open Access Agreements More Transparent for Authors”!

During OA Week 2021, ChronosHub’s Head of Business Development, Martin Jagerhorn, was invited to an OA session alongside Shelley Allen, Head of Open Research at Emerald Publishing. The SVP of Product Management at HighWire, Tony Alves, hosted the session.

ChronosHub presented with Luxembourg at the Charleston Conference 2021. Hear Tom Jakobs from Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) tell about FNR's journey toward Open Science. 

In celebration of OA week 2021, ChronosHub hosted an engaging talk that included panel members, Sybille Geisenheyner from American Chemical Society, Tom Jakobs from Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), Dr. Micaela Crespo Quesada from University of Lausanne, and Christian Grubak from ChronosHub – all contributing with valuable insights into the commonalities and differences that exist between funders, institutions, and publishers. 

Take a look at the case study below – developed by ChronosHub, University of Copenhagen, and The Royal Danish Library. The case illustrates the collaboration by highlighting issues, objectives, and outcomes.

From 2025 onward, there should be free public digital access to all peer-reviewed scientific articles from Danish research institutions – with a maximum 12-month embargo. The latest numbers released by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science show that year by year, the universities are getting closer to reach this goal. And new collaborations with ChronosHub will only accelerate the progress further.

On June 23, the European Commission released the European Innovation Scoreboard 2020, demonstrating continued improvement of innovation performance across the EU. Within the field of attractive research systems, Luxembourg, where Chronos Hub has multiple members, ranks as the most innovative country in the world.
