Lyubomir Penev talks about Open Science from the viewpoint of a scholarly publisher | 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. When: DAY 1 - PARALLEL SESSION 1 & 2

7. WHY?
CLAIM 1 of this presentation
Being just “open”, or
“open everything” is still
far from the true open
science!

8. WHY?
CLAIM 2 of this presentation
Publishing in NON-
machine-readable formats:
a bottleneck that hampers
progress in science!

9. The (mis)fortune of most research outputs

linking two concepts (subject and
object) via a third concept
(predicate).
2.The provenance: some
metadata to provide context for
the assertion.

metadata about the actual
nanopublication itself.
