  Seminar - Epistemology and methodology

  Journal transition from subscription model to open access

  De Gruyter webinar

  Serial crisis, sky-rocketing subscription prices as well as more and more widespread and powerful OA mandates have pushed many publishers to rethink the finance of publishing the journals. Considering a switch calls out numerous challenges but it is a path more and more travelled – and importantly so an economically – sustainable and one with long-term benefits – not only for readers, but also for authors and the journal owners, too. In 2014 De Gruyter converted 14 journals to OA – this webinar looks at overarching strategies for journal transition from subs to OA – including current OA publishing landscape and single factors (like managing submissions, citations and funding) that play a role during the process.  Is it worth it? Who will foot the bill? What to expect? And how to bring the EAB on board? The introductory one-hour webinar is built around three sections to allow participants to work out the flipping strategy for their publication and to timely and reasonably plan  the change.

  Comparative perspectives on censorship

  Modes of control of cultural production under different political regimes

  Les recherches sur la censure politique sous différents régimes politiques, ainsi que celles consacrées aux aires géographiques relativement éloignées, ne se rencontrent que très rarement. Le premier objectif de cette journée d’études qui se place dans une optique interdisciplinaire est de faire dialoguer les chercheurs qui étudient la censure sur des terrains politiques et géographiques variés, afin de poser la question des similitudes et des spécificités. Le deuxième objectif de cette manifestation est de croiser les regards sur les modalités de la censure appliquées aux différentes formes de production culturelle.
