The FORCE2016 Research Communication and eScholarship Conference brings together a diverse group of people (scholars in various disciplines and fields, publishers, funders, etc.) interested in changing the way in which scholarly and scientific information is communicated and shared. The goal is to maximize efficiency and accessibility. The conference is nontraditional, with all stakeholders coming to the table for open discussion on an even playing field in support of innovation and coordination across perspectives. The conference is intended to create new partnerships and collaborations and support implementation of ideas generated at the conference and subsequent working groups.
