Scholarly Publishing Shark Tank: Where to Invest to Achieve Our Goals

Scholarly Publishing Shark Tank: Where to Invest to Achieve Our Goals
Investing in scholarly publishing requires thoughtful and strategic prioritization, especially given the numerous critical areas demanding attention—ranging from research integrity and publishing workflows to content discovery. How can organizations best allocate resources to secure a successful future for themselves and the broader scholarly publishing landscape? This session will explore investment strategies and frameworks relevant to organizations of all sizes. To put these strategies into practice, we’ll engage in an interactive “Scholarly Publishing Shark Tank," answering key questions around the partnerships, resources, and technological capabilities necessary for success. Our panelists, taking on dual roles as "Sharks," will divide attendees into groups, each tasked with developing a pitch on how to invest one million dollars. How will these aspiring innovators respond to tough questions and unexpected challenges posed by our Sharks?

47th Annual Meeting (2025)

47
Although every year in the scholarly publishing ecosystem is a balancing act of innovation, optimization, and value creation, 2025 is shaping up to be particularly challenging as the pace and scale of change is accelerating more than we’ve ever seen before. There is increasing pressure to provide value to and to meet the incredibly diverse needs of the global research community while maintaining financial health for our own organizations, living our values, and continuing to protect the scholarly record. With AI, open access, integrity, and mistrust frequently dominating the conversation, we are in the midst of an unprecedented shift in both our industry and society as a whole. As always, the SSP community continues to focus on bringing together academics, funders, librarians, publishers, service providers, technologists, researchers and countless others with a communal interest and stake in disseminating scholarly information. We look to the 47th Annual Meeting as an opportunity to continue this tradition and welcome all colleagues and community stakeholders.
