What do researchers expect from OA journals and what do OA journals offer? Are there any regional differences in the perception of publication quality?

During this webinar we will hear from researchers and journal editors from East and North Africa, a librarian from Southeast Europe and digital publishing and dissemination service from North America. Efforts to establish sets of criteria that OA publishers need to meet in order to ensure equitable, transparent, and high-quality OA publishing will be presented. We will also discuss how libraries and other scholarly communication actors could contribute to the evidence-based notion of quality in scholarly publishing.
