This file hosts materials related to my potential participation in the Society for Open Reliable Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary biology (SORTEE) 2021 online conference on 12-14 July 2021. My session proposal "Why SORTEE session proposals should default to being open upon submission" was submitted on June 1 and approved on June 10 as Unconference session 11, to take place on 13th July 2021, 16:00-17:00 UTC.
- Topic: The closed nature of submissions to events organized under an open flag
- Abstract: The discussion should sharpen the participants' thoughts on the relative merits of conference submission processes defaulting to open or closed. To this end, I will briefly introduce some open examples and then stimulate discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of such open approaches, particularly in the context of SORTEE.
