OASPA Introduces New Supporter Membership Category
OASPA is working toward open scholarship with a new option, Supporter Membership. The organization notes, “In commitment to its mission goal to convene community stakeholders to share experiences, discuss problems and identify opportunities in the advancement of open access; and in recognition of the diversity of stakeholders invested in open access, OASPA has launched this new membership category.” With this category, “OASPA welcomes organisations and individuals without a publishing program to have a formal place in the organisation and to support its work.”Claire Redhead, OASPA’s executive director, says, “OASPA’s growth has followed the expansion of open access itself, encompassing a broad range of organisations engaged in different and innovative approaches to open access publishing or providing key services and infrastructures. Increasingly in our events we are getting to the heart of some of the issues that all stakeholders in the scholarly communication systems are impacted by. As we continue to work towards an equitable future for open scholarship, it is important to bring in as many voices as possible. It’s been heartening to see the level of interest in our activities from an ever growing number of organisations and regions of the world.” For more information, read the blog post.
