The theme for ELPUB2018 is Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure.

The question of sustainability in the open access movement has been widely debated, yet satisfactory answers have yet to be generated.

Market-driven versions of open access and open science are growing in prevalence, as well as a growing dependence on commercial publishers for the infrastructures needed to openly and democratically create and communicate knowledge.

This year’s theme challenges us to collaborate on the design and implementation of a sustainable community-driven research communication infrastructure that is also inclusive of diverse forms of knowledge making and sharing.

If you are interested in sharing your research, ideas, and tools that contribute to the theme or just join in the discussion, please consider participating in the meeting.
