Publishing beyond the market
This talk will outline the argument in my new book Publishing Beyond the Market: Open Access, Care, and the Commons (University of Michigan Press, 2025, Dr. Samuel A. Moore). The book explores the evolution of the open access landscape looking at commercial models, governmental policies and radical scholar-led publishing experiments, arguing that the move to open access should focus less on the free accessibility of research outputs and more on who controls the publications and infrastructures for scholarly communication. The talk will situate these ideas within debates on the commons and will argue for a route forward that nurtures an alternative, scholar-led open access landscape.
Data Quality Workshop: Unstructured Data and the Need for Quality Metrics
In the context of unstructured data in business, economics, and other social sciences, research can focus on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to… the assessment or improvement of the quality of unstructured data - the development of data quality frameworks - applications for unstructured data in research - highlighting the challenges in collecting and curating unstructured data. The event brings together experts from diverse fields to share insights, experiences, and strategies for navigating the challenges and opportunities of working with unstructured data. It also explores the need for quality metrics in AI and official statistics development in business, economics, and related data.
