# Live-screening & panel discussion: "Paywall - The Business of 
Scholarship",

## Dec 14, 2018, 14:30 - 16:30, Lecture Hall M 018, 
Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, LMU Munich.

We are happy to announce that a collaboration of the LMU Open Science 
Center, LMU University Library, and Leibniz Institute for Psychology 
Information (ZPID) will present the movie "Paywall - The Business of 
Scholarship" in Munich. As a special guest, we welcome the director and 
producer of the movie, Prof. Jason Schmitt (Clarkson University, USA).

The movie is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to 
research and science. It questions the rationale behind the $25.2 
billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines 
the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publishers, 
and looks at the factors impeding global academic innovation.

We will live-screen the movie, and have a subsequent panel discussion, 
featuring the following panelists:

- Prof. Jason Schmitt (Director and producer of the movie; Clarkson 
University, USA)
- Prof. Michael Bosnjak (Leibniz Institute for Psychology Information, 
ZPID, Trier)
- Volker Schallehn (Head of Electronic Publishing, University Library, 
LMU)
- Prof. Nikolaus Plesnila (LMU Open Science Center; University Hospital 
of Munich)

The event will take place on Friday, Dec 14, 2018 from 14:30 to 16:30 in 
Lecture Hall M 018, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, LMU Munich.
