The 5th Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) Conference

The 5th Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing (COASP) is to be held this year in Riga, Latvia. The Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) is a trade association that was established in 2008 in order to represent the interests of Open Access (OA) journal publishers globally in all scientific, technical and scholarly disciplines. This mission will be carried out through exchanging information, setting standards, advancing models, advocacy, education, and the promotion of innovation.

The OASPA blog will serve as an important forum for discussing important issues related to Open Access publishing, and will regularly feature posts from guest authors.
