The EU Digital Single Market Copyright Directive: Licensing in the Digital Age

Wednesday 16 October | 11:30-12:00 | Hall 4.2 N101

In March, the European Parliament approved the “Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market” with the stated intention of promoting “a well-functioning marketplace for the exploitation of works.” As EU member states begin to support the Directive through passage of national legislation, a panel of specialists in law and publishing will offer views on the opportunities, challenges and unintended consequences that the Copyright Directive presents.

Panelists:

• Elizabeth Crossick, Head of Government Relations-EU, RELX
• Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, Business Development & Government Relations, Copyright Clearance Center
• Carlo Scollo Lavizzari, Lenz Caemmerer
• Mark Seeley, SciPubLaw

Projekt DEAL and the Anatomy of a Transformative Agreement for Open Access Publishing

Wednesday 16 October | 14:00-14:30 | Hall 4.2 N101

John Wiley & Sons announced a three-year partnership with Projekt DEAL, a representative of nearly 700 academic institutions in Germany. The “transformative agreement” provides Projekt DEAL institutions with access to read Wiley’s academic journals back to the year 1997, as well as for their researchers to publish articles open access in Wiley’s journals, all for a single annual fee. Two key participants in the negotiations – Wiley’s Deirdre Silver and Max Planck’s Ralf Schimmer – join CCC’s Roy Kaufman to explore how the deal will operate and how it may serve as a model for “advancing open science, driving discovery, and developing and disseminating knowledge.”

Panelists:

• Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, Business Development & Government Relations, Copyright Clearance Center
• Ralf Schimmer, Director Scientific Information Provision, Max Planck Digital Library
• Deirdre Silver, Associate General Counsel (Global), VP of Legal, Research at John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
• Moderator: Christopher Kenneally, Copyright Clearance Center

The Future of Transformative Agreements: Subscriptions, Rights & Open Access

Wednesday 16 October | 14:30-15:00 | Hall 4.2 N101

Judging by their growing number, “transformative agreements” will play a prominent role in the Open Access dimension of scholarly publishing over the years ahead. Many types of transformative agreements exist, though all move journals from subscription-based to contractually-based business models. Such a change raises important questions for all stakeholders involved. How can systems and tools support the needs of researchers, institutions and funders? What data is needed to track the efficacy of transformative agreements? In the absence of tools and frameworks, how can publishers guide the institutional sales team to negotiate the right deal? A panel of licensing, publishing and technology experts will offer their insights.

Panelists:

• Sybille Geisenheyner, Sales Manager Europe, Middle East, Africa & India, Royal Society of Chemistry
• Dr. James Milne, Senior Vice President, Journal Publishing Group, American Chemical Society
• Mark Seeley, SciPubLaw
• Susie Winter, Director of Communications and Engagement, Research, Springer Nature
• Moderator: Christopher Kenneally, Copyright Clearance Center

Better Data is Better Publishing (and Better Science, Too)

Thursday 17 October | 9:30-10:00 | Hall 4.2 N101

Your “gut” has met its match. Data-driven solutions for publishing can lead to improvement in many areas from manuscript workflow to peer review, audience development to market reach. Yet publishing has a data problem – a deficit of accurate, relevant data necessary to manage in a world of change. Data is no guarantee for success, but as several use cases demonstrate, better data and metadata leads to better publishing (and possibly, better science, too).

Presenter: Chuck Hemenway, Director, Business Development, Copyright Clearance Center

In addition, CCC President and CEO Tracey Armstrong will participate on an STM Association panel on Innovation in the Executive Suite with Dr. Anke Beck, CEO, IntechOpen; Annie Callanan, CEO, Taylor & Francis Group; and Judy Verses, Executive Vice President, Research, Wiley.

Armstrong will also be featured on a Publishing Perspectives Talk Series panel on Women in Publishing.

CCC and Armstrong is jointly hosting with Bodour Al Qasimi, Vice President of the International Publishers Association (IPA) and Founding President of the Emirates Publishers Association, the fourth PublisHer networking dinner on Thursday of the Frankfurt Book Fair for an invite-only evening of speeches, debate, conversation and dining.
