What technical infrastructure do publishers need to scale OA?

As more and more publications are delivered under OA models, what technical infrastructure can help, and what challenges still need addressing, for publishers to expand and scale their OA programs? Panelists will discuss the role of publication platforms in OA, what works, and what’s missing. Speakers will touch on topics such as increasing automation across the entire workflow (from typesetting to the detection of research integrity), support for standardized identifiers, and critical integration points. This session will share technology best practices for helping publishers and societies simplify the transition to OA.
