Post Meeting
It is anticipated that the reports and other output created by the groups will be made available to the broader community via this event website and the tumblr site (opens in new tab). In addition, meeting organizers and focus group leaders will create a summary of the meeting outcomes that can be distributed broadly. This overall summary will present a roadmap for action with a four- to five-year time horizon specifying recommendations for the whole scholarly communications ecosystem. Microsoft Research and Harvard will publicize the meeting results.
