Open Science for Arts, Design and Music/Training/Conversation with MētisPresses

Abstract	Publishers play a key role in the successful implementation of the Swiss national Open Access strategy. To ensure their support, the OS-ADM team has selected three national publishers specialising in Arts, Design and Music whose editorial OA policy will be explored as case study. The first stage of the case study analysis consists in a structured conversation during which participants will share their respective perspectives on OA in order to further mutual understanding between researchers and publishers. The works published by the Francophone Swiss publisher MētisPresses combine historical perspectives, critical perception and interdisciplinarity.
