With the talk "Open Access publishing 3.0: Beyond the journal, a redefined role in the research ecosystem?" Stephanie Dawson described the shift in scholarly publishing from container to platform and how ScienceOpen can meet the needs of next generation scientific communication.

1. OA publishing 3.0
Beyond the journal,
a redefined
role in the research
ecosystem?
Dr. Stephanie Dawson, CEO
COASP Paris 17-19 September 2014

3.0: From container to platform
Publishing 3.0 is usually used to describe new
trends in self-publishing. What does that mean for
the future of academic OA publishing?
 No need for journals as “container” to
transport information.
 Search and discovery usually direct to
article.
 “Impact” measured on article level, so
Journal Impact Factors lose meaning.
 New ways to create user-driven content
specific collections - Open Access.
 Publishing as a service with the author as
customer and fees based on costs.
