Giovanni Sica’s Summary

At present, I enjoy working with people to develop plans to achieve significant changes in the publishing area. I believe that the knowledge products must be accessible to everyone in the world, overcoming the limits and barriers that could restrict their circulation.
I'm trying to build a new model of OPEN ACCESS scientific publishing that embraces economic self-subsistence, openness, and fairness.
In the past, I have worked with 30 years experience in the Human Resources and Organization Areas in different roles as Professional Consultant and as Human Resources Manager at various Industries (Chemical, Metalworkers and Tertiary Sector).

Giovanni Sica’s Specialties:

Open Access initiatives, Copyleft, Open Source projects, Intellectual Property (IP) law related to the copyrights, trademarks, patents and related rights. Organization development. Digital publishing processes. New printing technologies (POD - Print on demand).
