The ISSN Interntional Centre will be attending RDA in Europe 2022, an annual meeting organized by EURIG, on 17 November. The agenda and registration details can be found here: http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/725

Notably, the afternoon session will focus on aggregates, of particular interest to the ISSN Network.

Gaëlle Béquet, Director of ISSN International Centre, published an article in UKSG Insights about the JASPER project. Open access journals are poorly preserved, as shown by two recent studies based on an analysis of titles indexed by DOAJ. This worrying finding has motivated DOAJ, CLOCKSS, Keepers Registry, Internet Archive and Public Knowledge Project to join forces to propose an archiving solution for journals without article processing charges. The JASPER project resulted in the creation of a tool and a workflow allowing the preservation of a dozen journals. The next step is to go to scale (more journals archived, more agencies involved), conditioned subject to the mobilization of external funding.

The ISSN International Centre will participate in the 2022 OASPA Online Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing “Beyond Open Access” which will take place 20 – 22 September 2022. The program is available here: https://oaspa.org/oaspa-2022-conference-full-program/
