In this plenary panel session, hear from industry leaders as they talk about the societal and economic pressures driving our industry today and what they tell us about the future. Roger Schoenfeld (ITHAKA S+R) will moderate a candid discussion that addresses some of the most exciting opportunities and the greatest challenges shaping the present and future of scholarly communication. The session will engage with the ways leading companies are addressing these issues and changes and what your organization might want to consider as you plan for the future of your programs.

With the proliferation of scholarly content, how do researchers know what to trust? There isn't a single source of truth, and many in the community are looking for support and answers. But there's no single solution, and it's down to us as a community to work together to solve this problem. This session brings together different parts of the community to discuss how their organizations are working together to tackle this challenge and ask the audience to highlight any remaining problems that we need to solve together. We'll hear about Crossref's role in collecting and openly disseminating metadata that can be used as "trust signals," STM," support for publishers to preserve scholarly integrity, Web of Science using the rigorous selection as a foundation for trustworthy datasets & metrics, COPE's work bringing together publishers and institutions, and the Korean Council of Science Editors (KCSE)' work with journal editorial boards.
