APE 2006
Academic Publishing in Europe
The Role of Information in Science and Society

4 - 5 April 2006
Leibniz-Room
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences
Gendarmenplatz, Markgrafenstraße 38
10117 Berlin
Germany
An International Conference initiated by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) and the German Association of Publishers and Booksellers (Börsenverein). Organised under the auspices of the European Commission, sponsored by Atypon, BioMed Central, Blackwell Publishing, Ebsco Information Services, the Electronic Publishing Working Group (AKEP), Elsevier, IBM, IPA, IOS Press, mEDRA, Royal Society of Chemistry, Sage Publications, Springer Science + Business Media, STM, Swets Information Services, Walter de Gruyter, John Wiley & Sons and supported by leading research and library organisations in Germany and Europe.

What is happening in publishing and in the information market? This conference is organised so as to provide an international strategic forum for all parties involved in the role of information in science and society. Rather than simply restating well known positions we aim at a fresh approach which will deal with the many structural changes which have taken place in the information and value chains. Issues of language, culture, education, finance, technology, politics, standardisation and other matters will have a serious impact on the outreach of scientific communication. Academic publishing in Europe has a long tradition in which many small and medium-sized publishers and publishing societies have played a significant role. We have seen valuable initiatives for the creation of digital libraries. We have seen new funding models such as Open access and a major change from subscriptions to the licensing of information usage. The way in which we cite, quote and link information is changing as well. The correct use of information, however, depends also on the ability to search information and search engines do not yet come up to professional expectations.

The expected outcome of the conference is that stakeholders and interested parties will have a better understanding of the implications of change and will be able to identify the challenges and possibilities for more efficient production, dissemination and use of information. Many speakers, from different backgrounds and disciplines, will be giving their views in a unique setting in the middle of Berlin. Each participant will receive the report of the rapporteurs of the conference*.



The Programme Committee wishes you
a very interesting conference!
