Upcoming Webinar: What Should You Consider Before Charging Article Processing Fees?
If you’ve been part of academic publishing for a while, you’ve probably heard the term “APCs” tossed around often. Article Processing Charges are becoming a standard part of the open access conversation, but there is still a need to know when and how to introduce them. That’s where things get tricky.
That’s why we’re excited about an upcoming live webinar on “Striking the right balance – what to consider when introducing Article Processing Charges” hosted by Sciendo (under Paradigm Publishing Services), where this very topic takes center stage. It’s part of a new series meant to spark real conversations about the big issues in academic publishing and not just buzzwords and surface talk.
When:
April 23, 2025
Time:
2:00–3:00 PM CET
Where:
Online, so you can join in from wherever you are
Who's Leading the Discussion?
Two publishing powerhouses:
Emily Poznanski
CEO of Sciendo & CSO at Paradigm
Dr. Aleksandra Nowacka-Leverton
VP, of Journal Operations at De Gruyter Brill
What Will They Cover?
It’s not going to be your typical dry webinar with bullet points and jargon. Emily and Aleksandra are digging into the real stuff:
- What should journals consider before switching to APCs?
- How can you balance open access goals with the need for financial sustainability?
- Can we learn from medicine and geoscience journals already utilizing this model?
- And how do you keep quality and ethics front and center, even with revenue involved?
If you're an editor thinking about moving to an open access model or just trying to wrap your head around APCs and what they mean for your journal, this session could be just the nudge you need.
You’ll walk away with insights, cautionary tales, and maybe even a bit of inspiration. And honestly? That’s a solid way to spend an hour.
Save your spot and be part of the conversation!
