 \nRegistration\n\n12:45pm : Welcome coffee and cakes\n\n1pm : First talk b
 y Guillaume Anciaux - “What about Diamond Open Access?”\n\n\nDiamond O
 pen Access is a scholarly publishing model characterized by journals and p
 latforms that do not impose fees nor on authors neither on readers. These 
 journals typically operate as community-driven\, academically-led\, and ac
 ademically-owned initiatives. While this approach does not eliminate publi
 shing costs entirely\, it places a strong emphasis on achieving fairness (
 FAIR principles). Several frameworks are available to facilitate this appr
 oach\, where the minimum is to manage content storage and visibility. An a
 lternative strategy to reduce the workload for editors of such journals is
  the adoption of an Overlay journal approach\, which curates and selects c
 ontent from freely accessible online repositories\, such as preprints. In 
 this setup\, editorial boards supervise the peer review process to ensure 
 high-quality content and rely on institutional storage repositories like A
 rXiv\, HAL\, and Zenodo for data retention. To illustrate the advantages a
 nd challenges of this model compared to traditional scientific journal app
 roaches\, we will use the Journal of Theoretical Computation and Applied M
 echanics (JTCAM) as an example. JTCAM's commitment to open reviews\, metic
 ulous copy-editing\, and its innovative approach to reviewing datasets wil
 l be discussed in detail.\n\n1:30pm: Second talk by Talk by Dimitri Van de
  Ville - “The Story of NeuroImage: Downfall and Revival”\n\n\nIn April
  2023\, Elsevier\, one of the world’s largest scientific publishers\, wi
 tnessed the mass resignation of all editors from its flagship journals Ne
 uroImage and NeuroImage:Reports\, following a profound disagreement with t
 he high open-access publication fees. A month later\, the editors launche
 d a new journal\, Imaging Neuroscience\, with non-profit publisher MIT Pre
 ss\, intended to replace NeuroImage as the field’s leading journal. The
  exodus had major reverberations in the community\, was largely covered by
  the press\, and profoundly impacted the course of NeuroImage. The reviva
 l as Imaging Neuroscience was established in record time. The journal was 
 officially launched at the Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human B
 rain Mapping in July 2023. It receives enthusiastic support from the commu
 nity in terms of number of submissions and reviewer commitments. I will h
 ighlight some ins and outs of this intriguing saga\, which has been haile
 d by The Chronicle of Higher Education as a “high-profile move ... in th
 e long-unfolding battle over who pays and who benefits in the academic-pu
 blishing world.”\n \n\n	Wednesday\, Oct. 25 | 12pm-1:30pm | Esplanade\n
