Epistemicast explores the future of the digital Academic Repository, its growing role at the centre of Open Science and broader Open Academia, and its potential to help facilitate new, more open alternatives to the closed monopolies of traditional academic publishing.
In conversation with the renowned research data management expert Paul Walk, we discuss the Confederation of Open Access Repositories, his role in COAR projects past and present, and explore how the global network of repositories is being integrated into overlay journals and emerging open networks for scholarly peer review and endorsement.
