‘Community over commercialisation’ is the theme of this year’s International Open Access Week (October 21-25). Too often, traditional publication models have served the interests of for-profit publishers, instead of primarily benefiting the academic community and society as a whole. At Utrecht University Library we support new ways of publishing that are scholar-led, equitable, and transparent. One of these new publication models is known as Publish, Review, Curate (PRC). On Thursday, October 24, researchers and support staff are warmly invited to join colleagues and Open Access experts to explore this model and discover how to make it work for you.

The PRC model brings together international research communities on independent online publication platforms (such as the UU-supported PeerCommunityIn), where colleagues assess each other’s preprints through a public and transparent review process. Subsequent publication of the finalised work in an affiliated journal (the ‘curate’ step) is optional. Rather than focusing on a static end product (the journal article), the PRC model centres discussion and collaboration as a vital part of the research dissemination process.

During the workshop, we will discuss important questions around reliability, rigour, visibility and impact of the PRC model. Several Utrecht pioneers of this way of publishing will share their motivation and experiences, and attendees will have the chance to get acquainted with PRC platforms in their own subject area in a hands-on session. For those that are considering to use this way of publishing for their next project, the library’s Open Access experts will offer the possibility for a short 1 on 1 consultation.

Speakers will include Jeroen Bosman (Open Science specialist at Utrecht University Library) and Emilia Jarochowska (assistant professor at the Faculty of Geosciences and PRC pioneer).

The workshop will be conducted in English with the option to use luistertaal during the discussion (English/Dutch). Consults can be either in English or Dutch.

Registration is not necessary.
