UBC Scholarly Communications Steering Committee

The purpose of the committee is to create a wider forum for discussion and consideration of changes to the system of scholarship and to recommend action on sustainability of current economic models of scholarship, public access to tax-payer funded research, issues surrounding copyright and author rights in the digital age, mechanisms and support to manage new scholarly distribution and information dissemination models such as digital repositories, open access, and other connected movements such as open data, open content, open science, and open education.
