Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with John Willinsky, Founder, Public Knowledge Project. In this conversation, John talks about his career beginnings as a schoolteacher, then becoming a college professor and researcher. In 1998, he became frustrated with being unable to share research findings with the public due to copyright issues. So, he founded the Public Knowledge Project to improve discoverability and indexing in scholarly research. The PKP has since grown into a global, open-source initiative now used by over 50,000 journals, working with Google Scholar and OpenAlex. John believes research integrity and public education is important and talks about the development of open access and the challenges that remain today with implementing it.  The video of this interview can be found here:  Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ Keywords: #PublicKnowledgeProject #KnowledgeSharing #Research #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicResearch #OpenAccess #OpenSource #HigherEducation #LibraryInnovation #Innovation #LibraryJobs #career #collaboration #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts
