The global ecosystem of academic publishing is presently undergoing a dramatic transformation. Increasing number of scientists question its established political
and epistemic economy in which major corporate players act as mediators selling (back) results of publicly funded research to publicly funded academic institutions.
While the turn to open access publishing represents a number of progressive and creative responses to the established model, it also generates pathologies, such as predatory publications that threaten to further undermine trust both in, and within science. Following lectures of the research librarian Jeffrey Beall (University of Colorado) and the sociologist of
science Katja Mayer (University of Vienna) this conference will open space for discussing Czech specificities of the global quest for meaningful and responsible academic publishing.
