'Quality & Publishing': a report on the 'Academic Publishing in Europe' Conference, Berlin, 22-23 January 2008

摘要

Since its first conference in 2006, Academic Publishing in Europe (APE) has become a major event for STI professionals in Europe. Under the auspices of the EU Research Directorate-General, the 2008 conference took place in the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science, at the famous Gendarmenmarkt in the historical centre of Berlin near the Humboldt University. The particular character of this international conference may best be described in the words of its president, Arnoud de Kemp, former director at Springer publishers and Chairman of EUSIDC: "[APE] supports awareness and a better understanding of academic publishing by offering a forum for presentations by and discussions between all stakeholders".
