In a timely and thought-provoking initiative, Sciendo, under the umbrella of Paradigm Publishing Services, is set to host a live webinar that addresses one of the most critical and often debated topics in academic publishing: Article Processing Charges (APCs).
Titled “Striking the Right Balance – What to Consider When Introducing Article Processing Charges,” this webinar will take place on April 23, 2025, from 2:00–3:00 PM CET. The event aims to provide editors, publishers, and researchers with a deeper understanding of the strategic, ethical, and financial considerations surrounding the implementation of APCs in scholarly journals.
Who’s Leading the Discussion?
The session will feature two renowned voices in scholarly publishing:
- Emily Poznanski, CEO of Sciendo and Chief Strategy Officer at Paradigm
- Dr. Aleksandra Nowacka-Leverton, Vice President of Journal Operations at De Gruyter Brill
Together, they bring a wealth of experience and strategic insight, promising a discussion that goes beyond buzzwords and into the realities of balancing open access ideals with sustainability.
Key Topics to Be Explored:
- Should journals switch to APCs—and under what conditions?
- How can open access goals be aligned with financial models?
- Lessons from the medical and geoscience publishing communities
- Upholding quality and ethics while generating revenue
This isn’t your average slide-heavy session. Attendees can expect an engaging, practical, and candid conversation designed to spark meaningful reflection and provide actionable guidance.
