Boudewijn Haverkort elected Chairman of the Dagstuhl Publishing Advisory Board

Categories:
In the field of academic publishing, innovation and adaptability are crucial for success. Dagstuhl Publishing, the publishing house of Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics, looks back on a still short but very successful history in academic publishing. The first volume in its largest and most successful series, LIPIcs, was published 15 years ago. In order to meet the growing demands in the field of Open Access, but also Open Science in general, an independent advisory board for the publishing house was founded at the beginning of the year on the recommendation of the institute's scientific advisory board. At the end of October, Prof. Dr. Boudewijn Haverkort was elected as the new chair of the Dagstuhl Publishing Advisory Board.

The Dagstuhl Publishing Advisory Board

Ever since the earliest days of seminar operations in the 1990s, the publication of seminar documentation has been a fundamental part of Schloss Dagstuhl's concept. Today, this part is covered by the series “Dagstuhl Reports” and “Dagstuhl Manifestos”. At the end of the 2000s, the informatics community approached Schloss Dagstuhl expressing the wish to use the existing publication infrastructure not only for seminar documentation, but also as an open access platform for conference and workshop proceedings since the established publishing landscape lacked such a service. This resulted in the series “Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatic (LIPIcs)” and “Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs)”. The portfolio is complemented by the “Dagstuhl Artifact Series (DARTS)”, a series focusing on artefacts, established to meet the needs of the application-related parts of the LIPIcs community, and the journal “Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems (LITES)” with a thematic focus on Embedded Systems.

In order to further develop and adapt the publishing house and its portfolio to the needs of computer scientists, taking into account advancement in the Open Access and Open Science environments, Schloss Dagstuhl's Scientific Advisory Board has recommended that an independent consulting body for the publishing house be established. This committee was founded at the beginning of 2023.

The purpose of the Dagstuhl Publishing Advisory Board is to provide support and scientific supervision for Schloss Dagstuhl's publishing department. In particular, the board

  • advises in all matters regarding the strategic development of Dagstuhl Publishing,
  • defines the guidelines and standards regulating the inclusion of new series and journals into the portfolio of Dagstuhl Publishing,
  • monitors the development of Dagstuhl Publishing,
  • and supports the publishing team by providing its expertise.

The Publishing Advisory Board consists of established computer scientists and research information infrastructure experts:
