On The A100 Podcast, I sat down with David Jackson, executive officer of ASPET, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of open access publishing. Jackson shares how ASPET is preparing for the 2025 mandates, including launching their new journal, ASPET Discovery, and partnering with Elsevier to enhance publishing practices.
We also explore how ASPET is adopting an author-centric approach to increase accessibility and support early-career researchers, while addressing critical concerns around intellectual property and AI use in publishing. Open access is transforming the future of scholarly research. Jackson’s insights offer a practical roadmap for associations navigating the evolving publishing landscape.
