Frederick Fenter presenting the Frontiers' platform | OSFair2017 Workshop
Workshop title: Open Access Models & Platforms
Workshop overview:
What are the emerging models of Open Access for publications? Who should be involved? How are costs distributed over the stakeholders involved? How can OA platforms innovate further to embrace Open Science? This workshop will discuss and showcase the range of models available, including their costs and organisational aspects, to discuss their relative strengths and weaknesses in different academic contexts.

Editorial Board – Chief Editors
Median: 77This is for all journals, since 2007This is for all manuscripts that received a final decision (removed deleted).Includes acceptances and rejections.
With the expansion into new specialties, our community of Chief Editors also grew. Bob Knight stepped up from the role of Chief Editor of Neuroscience to Field Chief Editor of the whole journal taking on a figure head role.
In general, interest from other parties have always been strong due to our CC-BY license.
Collaborations with participating organizations
As part of our vision for a sustainable long-term approach, we are establishing collaborations and relationships with other publishers and research societies, who commit to recommending articles from their publications to translations into Young Minds versions. In 2015, we created a recommendation portal to make tis process as simple as possible for the collaborators. In 2015, CellPress joined as a participating organization, followed with the American Physiological Society and the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society in 2017. A number of other organizations are in the final discussions with plans to participate (Annals of Internal Medicine, Entomological Society of America, British Ecological Society).
The GLOBE Program is a k-12 citizen science program that reached more than 10 million students in the last 20 years. It encourages scientists to get involved with outreach and our partnership together will allow for both of our communities to get involved with each other. For example, encouraging authors who have used GLOBE data sets to write Young Minds versions of their work. This will enable students to read directly about the research they helped to make possible.
In late 2016, we began working on a plan to launch the translations of articles first, then the website itself, with the long term goal of translating the review process to allow all Young Minds around the world to participate.
In 2017, we have begun with the help of several voluntary groups around the world, the effort to translate the first set of articles in the following languages so far; French, Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese. In July 2017, we received sponsorship to take this one step further and we are currently establishing a community of Young Minds in Israel. The funding from the Drahi foundation will support the development needed to achieve this.
