The article of mosaic structure comprises the materials of the panel discussion “Collaboration & community. The transition to open access” held by Copyright Clearance Center (USA) within the framework London Book Fair in April, 2018. These materials (arguments presented by four discussion participants, experts in scholarly publishing: a publisher of Cambridge University Press, Cambridge University librarian, expert of Royal Society of Chemistry, and Executive Director of Knowledge Unlatched, a crowdfunding platform), and the introduction speech by Christopher Kenneally, discussion moderator, were published on the discussion date and distributed to the participants. By courtesy of Christopher Kenneally and Alastair Horn in charge of the Academic Bulletin where the prematerials were first published, we are including the original English-language text, the translation and the author’s summary and arguments on expanding publication formats, e. g. outspreading of panel sessions at conferences. The article is aimed at two goals: to introduce readers to several issues of the open access system voiced at the discussion panel, and to analyze in detail the methods of audience communication (the technologies based on open access principles). The selection of materials, permission for translation into Russian (and the translation) as well as the permission for reprinting the original are accomplished by Andrey I. Zemskov, RNPLS&T leading researcher, who attended the discussion panel. He is also the author of the summary review on the new publication and public exposure model as an open access version.
