October 10, 2023
OA2020 convened this online workshop, in collaboration with Coordenação De Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Consorcio Colombia, Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), California Digital Library (CDL), Iowa State University Library, UNESCO, the International Science Council (ISC), cOAlition S, and Science Europe, to bring together a wide range of participants from across North, Central, and South America to discuss the challenges to equitable open access in 2023 across these regions and to explore potential solutions.
The third and last event our series of regional workshops included perspective video contributions to immerse workshop participants in the diverse realities in countries across the Americas and provide a broader perspective on the different challenges related to equity and inclusion in open access publishing.
The workshop further expanded and built on insights gathered in previous sessions that focused on viewpoints from Africa and Europe and from the Asia Pacific region. Together with the previous events, the outcomes of this workshop will inform immediate and long term actions on a global scale that the organizers will further discuss with additional stakeholders, including scholarly publishers, in 2024.
