The Council is engaging and collaborating with its Members, with national and international funders, with universities, with open science bodies, with publishers and with individual scientists to create a powerful and broadly-based coalition for change to ensure that scholarly publishing supports open, efficient and accessible dissemination and use of scientific work.
Priorities for reform
A zero draft working paper on priorities for reform of scientific publishing has been developed with input from the project steering group. This is intended to guide the development of an advocacy campaign around the eight principles for reform of scientific publishing, which were endorsed by ISC Members in October 2021 (see above).
