Looking for participants in an R2R debate program

  • 1.  Looking for participants in an R2R debate program

    Posted Nov 22, 2021 10:04 AM

    Greetings –

     

    In what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, I'm organizing a format debate program for the upcoming Researcher to Reader Conference which will take place in London on 23-24 February, 2021. (More info at http://r2rconf.com.) This will be a fully hybrid conference, with participation possible both remotely and on site.

     

    The proposition that will be debated this year is: "Resolved: The world would be a better place if research funders, rather than readers and libraries, bore the cost of scholarly publishing."

     

    You can find a recording of the 2021 R2R debate program ("Resolved: Journal publishers should pay academics for providing peer review") at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVFZDaIUQFg&feature=youtu.be.

     

    If you would be interested in participating as a debater on either side of this proposition at our upcoming conference, or want to nominate someone else for consideration, please reach out to me off-list at rick_anderson@byu.edu.
