OPERAS Working Groups have started

OPERAS has launched 7 working groups to explore future services that the research infrastructure will develop. Each group has started on developing a White Paper for the first OPERAS conference on the topic of “Open Scholarly Communication in Europe. Addressing the Coordination Problem” from 31 May – 1 June 2018 in Athens.

The working groups are each coordinated by a core group member and focus on areas of particular importance to open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities.
