WIth apologies for cross-posting

Our virtual NISO Plus Global/Online conference (September 16–17, 2025) is fast approaching! The conference program features several sessions focused on open access and open research:

Do We Need an Open Access Standard for Journals?
Beyond the Paywall: Bridging Information Privilege with Open Research Strategies and Resources
Developing a New Community Standard: PKP’s Publication Facts Label
NISO standard updates (including progress on our Open Access Business Processes Recommended Practice)

As always, all sessions at NISO Plus conferences incorporate time for discussion and idea generation—past meetings have led to new standards projects!

The early bird deadline for the conference is Friday, August 15, and these rates are 30% off the standard individual rates, so register by 11:59 EDT (US/Canada) tomorrow if you're planning to attend.

Thanks and best wishes to all,

Mary Beth
