Is open access, i.e. academic publishing without paywalls, a curse or a blessing, high quality or the bottom of the drawer, an alternative to expensive subscription journals or just another money-making model for commercial publishers? What is going well in the transformation of the academic publishing market that has begun, and what is not? Are we achieving our original goals or are we already on the wrong track? This lecture provides answers to these questions
A brown bag, filled with a tasty sandwich and a sweet from the Studierendenwerk, is available in the Pavilion Café (students €3, employees and guests €3.30)
The format of the Brown Bag Lecture is informal and casual: in collaboration with the university's departments and the Studierendenwerk, young researchers present their research topic in entertaining short talks - while the audience relaxes and eats their American sandwich from the brown paper bag. The entire breadth of research is represented and the speakers strengthen their skills in science communication.
