A workshop that took place February 14, 2011 to February 16, 2011, facilitating discussion of "what is important about journal publishing to mathematicians," just released its final report.
A workshop scheduled in Berkeley, California, Feburary14-16, 2011. "The workshop will discuss what is important and unique to the publishing
of mathematical research articles and how we can best ensure that
publishing practices support peer reviewed research in the long term.
Much of the current discussion is taking place between funders and
publishers, including learned societies, but not directly with
mathematicians. A second goal is to see if we can find a consensus of
opinion on what is important about journal publishing to mathematicians,
that is, where the balance lies between the desire for profits from
publishing and the broader dissemination of research."
