We are delighted to announce that Professor Virginia (Ginny) Barbour,
Editor-in-Chief of the Medical Journal of Australia and Adjunct Professor
at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), will deliver one of two
keynote addresses at the NISO Plus 2024 Global/Online <https://niso.plus/>
conference.

An early champion of open research, Professor Barbour was trained in the UK
in medicine at Cambridge University and University College and Middlesex
Hospital medical schools, specializing in hematology. She went on to do a
DPhil at Oxford University and post-doctoral research in the US on globin
gene regulation. She joined The Lancet in 1999, leaving in 2004 to be one
of the three founding editors of PLOS Medicine. In 2015 she joined Open
Access Australasia (previously the Australian Open Access Strategy Group)
as director and led its growth from nine university members to 32
university members and seven affiliate organizations. She was also involved
in the final drafting of the UNESCO Open Science Recommendation in 2021 and
is a Plan S Ambassador.

In addition to her work advocating for open access and open research, she
has driven several innovative scholarly communication and research
integrity initiatives. She was Chair of the Committee on Publication Ethics
(COPE) from 2012 to 2017 and is currently Co-Chair of the Declaration on
Research Assessment (DORA) as well as a member of the Australian NHMRC’s
Research Quality Steering Committee. She was also an editorial advisor to
medRxiv in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are honored that Dr. Barbour will be delivering a keynote at NISO Plus
Global/Online,” said Jason Griffey, NISO’s Director of Strategic
Initiatives. “Open science, publishing ethics, and research integrity
remain—and will remain for the foreseeable future—hot topics in the
information community, and we look forward to hearing her insights on these
issues and the current state of scholarly communications.”
