In the accelerating transition to Open Access, The Microbiology Society has concentrated great attention on making strides to streamline author workflow from submission and review to publication.

Ongoing calls for social change have drawn attention to the need in scholarly publishing for greater equity, diversity, and inclusion, including for peer review, editorial practices, and business models.

Jamie Carmichael provides her input, along with many others from the March 2022 OA Switchboard Webinar.

The move to Open Access (OA) is changing the way that information is disseminated for all parties involved, from authors to readers to publishers.

At this year’s NISO Plus 2022 conference, Jamie Carmichael joined a fantastic panel discussion, hosted by Hannah Heckner, Director of Product at Silverchair, and moderated by CCC’s own Christopher Kenneally. 

It’s been an exciting and challenging year for CCC as we work with PLOS on this innovative and socially-aware initiative, and we’re greatly looking forward to what comes next.

Australia is acting as a model for cooperation among leaders in Open Science and the Scientific Publishing Ecosystem.
