The APE International Conferences have been organized annually at the beginning of the year without interruption since 2006. During the Covid pandemic, the APE took place virtually for its editions APE 2021 and APE 2022. The conferences bring together all stakeholders in scholarly communications and scientific publishing. The main participants are academic, educational, scientific, technological, medical, and legal publishers, university presses, research funders, researchers, authors, editors, librarians, teachers, learned and professional societies and associations, funding agencies, policy makers, subscription agencies and booksellers, recruiting agencies and technology providers.
