Reminder: Future Visions - The Crisis of Scientific Publishing: Lights and Shadows - Wednesday 27 November

[Infopoint]

Dear all,

we remind you the first event in the *Future Visions On Science 
Communication* series, which will take place on Wednesday, November 27, 
2024, at 10:30 AM in Room 128-129.

*The Crisis of Scientific Publishing: Lights and Shadows** *

With Luca De Fiore (Il Pensiero Scientifico Editore), Elisa De Ranieri 
(Director of Newton), and cosmologist Licia Verde. Moderated by Letizia 
Gabaglio.

Terms like /peer review, impact factor, open access, pre-print, and 
predatory journals /are just a few elements defining the complex world 
of scientific publishing. This process, which should ensure the quality, 
impartiality, and neutrality of science, is now at the center of heated 
debate. Many argue that it is undergoing a crisis, influenced by 
financial interests, prestige, careers, and trust in science, raising 
questions about the very value of research and its impact on society. 
 From medicine to physics, our session will explore the lights and 
shadows of this crucial issue, offering perspectives and solutions that 
concern not only the research community but all of us.


*The event will be held in Italian with simultaneous translation into 
English.*
