*Presentation*
While the Open Access (OA) movement, with its green and gold routes, has
reached a certain maturity in the world and mainly in developed countries
thanks to the policies of strengthening open access to Scientific and
Technical Information (STI) in all areas, it continues to progress in the
developing countries including  the Arab and African  states.
Indeed, the advance of OA in these countries was prejudiced by the lack of
awareness among researchers and policy makers of the benefits it could
provide in terms of visibility of scientific production, democratization of
access to research results and application of performance indicators in the
academic environment.
This conference is a contribution in order to propel the OA movement
globally and especially in the countries of the South endorsing reflection
on issues related to the role of OA in the valorizing of scientific
research. It tries to show the different approaches and policies related to
this new model as well as the feedback and the role that libraries have to
play in this new scene. The objective of the conference is to promote the
exchange of experiences, views, and research results between researchers,
academics, and librarians from different disciplines, on related aspects to
the new models of scholarly communication. It will be a good occasion to
discuss how to offer solutions to common challenges.
It will provide an overview on the latest innovations in the field of OA to
STI and raise awareness of researchers and different stakeholders of the
benefits of OA and get them actively involved in this movement. Moreover,
there will be an opportunity to build networks of collaborative work
between researchers from different countries that could initiate joint
projects.
*Themes*
Academic researchers can submit papers in one of the following themes:
-          *Open Access Theories*: the theoretical foundations of the OA
movement and the reasons for its success or failure;
-          *Requirements of digital scholarly communication*: the
transition from traditional to digital scholarly communication and the role
of ICTs and networks to enhance the development of OA;
-          *Economic Approaches of OA*: the limits of the traditional
economic model of scientific communication and the emergence of new
business models related to OA and the development of digital output and
digitisation;
-          *Open Access Policies* :  the establishment of institutional,
national or international policies for access to STI;
-          *Implementing Open Access at universities*: achievement and
evaluation of OA resources such as open archives (disciplinary and
institutional repositories), Open Access Journals (OAJ), scholarly social
networks...);
-          *Open Access and utilization of scientific research*: State of
the art and emerging new practices for researchers;
-          *Open Access to STI and Libraries*: role of the libraries and
the librarians in the establishment, management of OA services and the
promotion of OA ;
-          *Open Access, copyright and emerging forms of scholarship: *aspects
related to traditional and new forms of copyright, including Creative
Commons, and new forms of scholarship ;
