Call for sponsors

This year’s conference will be a virtual event since the COVID-19 situation has not been resolved yet.

The international conference PUBMET2021: THE 8 th CONFERENCE ON SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING AND COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF OPEN SCIENCE will be held on 15-17 September 2021.

PUBMET2021 is organized by the University of Zadar, Croatian Association for Scholarly Communication, the University of Zagreb and Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb. By supporting the conference, sponsors will have the opportunity to present their products to a wide audience, from researchers, university professors, publishers, editors, librarians, information and communication experts to policymakers. The focus of the conference is scholarly communication (publishing as the most visible channel) and metrics. This year’s conference topics will focus on:
• Innovative publishing models
• Resilience in the context of scientific publishing
• Communicating science to non-scientists
• Scientific communication in crisis
• Research data and how to select relevant data
• Institutional repositories (how to be compliant with GDPR) and self-archiving
• Peer review and research assessment
• Research integrity and trust in science
• Incentives and rewards for publishing in open access
• Multilingualism and information literacy
• Statistics for authors and editors
• Media training for scientists

All themes will be presented by invited speakers, shorter presentations by registered speakers, workshops, poster session and in a panel discussion.
