Alternative Communication Formats—Bridging the Last Mile

01:00:00

2023 | Feb 23, Chirag Jay Patel, Debra Rowe, Kara Mitzel, Blythe Thomas, Alexa Colella

The original promise of an Open Access model of publishing was to make research outcomes available to the public who paid for the research to have taken place through publicly funded research grants. As a result, the movement toward OA publishing has taken on a life of its own as a commercial publishing strategy, driven by many factors. Yet, how are we actually doing in fulfilling one of the fundamental promises of OA—actually getting research findings into the hands of the public, policymakers, and practitioners in a usable format that actually affects change, rather than just making research findings more accessible to researchers? The two goals are quite different! This webinar will discuss motivations and models and present case studies about how to deliver on the promise to make research outcomes truly accessible and actionable. Addressing this “Last Mile” of research communication is critical to informing and empowering those who make policies and laws, which influence responsible corporate and personal behavior, and who help shape public perception.

Does Anyone Read Books Anymore?

59:33

2021 | Mar 16

Universities are negotiating deals with publishers so their students don't have to buy their own books. Libraries with shrinking budgets are deprioritizing books in their purchasing. Researchers in some disciplines are focusing on journal publications instead of books as they work to advance their careers. Despite these trends, many people strongly believe books continue to be an important part of the scholarly publishing world. In this webinar, we will speak with a professor, a librarian, a university press, and a larger book publisher about what they see as the major changes in the past five years and what they think the next five years will hold. ||

Scholarly publishing, like all other media, is dominated by a group of major players (many of which became major by purchasing smaller companies).

What are their major struggles? • How have technological changes and the shift to new publishing models, including open access models and transformative agreements, affected their business? • How do they evaluate when they should partner with other companies and when they should go it alone? • Has social media helped smaller publishers to level the playing field? These and other questions will be addressed by a panel of representatives from medical, technical, and humanities publishers. || Moderator: Shirley Decker-Lucke | Speakers: Kevin R.

57:30

2022 | Apr 13, Haseeb Md. Irfanullah, Ana Heredia, Roger Schonfeld, Alice Meadows, Jennifer Kemp

In the post-Cold War era, many observers have conceptualized science as a global activity, with substantial international collaboration, more readily facilitated cross-border scholarly communication, and even UN-level efforts to steer science towards Sustainable Development Goals. But regional differences, geopolitical strains, and challenges to developing a global research infrastructure have all posed challenges to global science. In this webinar, hosted by the Scholarly Kitchen, a panel will consider whether science can ever be truly “global.”
