Round table: "How to publish on Oceania in the age of open science: issues, methods and perspectives" -- Convened by Isabelle Leblic and Raphaëlle Chossenot



Session presentation

Our experience as editors of the JSO, and the institutional changes to which we are confronted, lead us to organize this round table to discuss the various experiences of publishing on Oceania in a contemporary context.

Indeed, publishers are faced with new challenges, methods and perspectives in Europe and the Pacific, public or private, in this first half of the 21st century and in a time of the rise of open science, of changes in economic models, and in the context of a growing demand for the restitution of knowledge to communities.
In Oceania, the stakes of scientific publishing may be different to those encountered in Europe also due to the multitude of contexts, with independent states but also territories attached to former colonial powers, not to mention the presence of indigenous populations, multiple languages, and so on.

A reflection on the practices of public and private publishing will allow us to address several aspects tied to publishing in a contemporary context. The participants to this round table will reflect on the point of view of the authors as well as that of the publishers, including also the perspectives of scientific evaluation and funding. Particular attention will be drawn to the specific contexts of publication (national regulations, institutional recommendations, ethics, etc.).
