What now? Does Coronavirus mean that Open Access is a slam dunk? What impact does it have on your publication activities – right now? Next month? Next year? Join Angela Cochran, Judy Luther, Simon Inger and Sam Burrell in conversation.

This fireside chat focusses on societies themselves, asking the questions we should be thinking about, and we should have for publishing partners. What should we know about transformative deals? How do OA mandates affect us? It's a conversation with societies about their journals program, discussing the challenges that the changing publications landscape brings them, with a particular focus on the impact of transformative agreements on those who are working with commercial publishing partners.
