How Publishers and Librarians Can Work Together to Support Early Career Researchers

How Publishers and Librarians Can Work Together to Support Early Career Researchers
Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are at the heart of the future of research. They bring fresh perspectives and unique insights, but often lack the support, publishing experience, and connections that more experienced researchers have. With up to 80% or more of ECRs pursuing a career outside academia post PhD, much of the research created by ECRs goes unpublished. This is a significant loss to the knowledge creation infrastructure. This panel brings together publishers and librarians to discuss how we can work together to better support ECRs throughout their different career paths and ensure that their key insights are not lost but rather amplified. Panelists will address: • how we can better bridge the gap between libraries, research offices, and publishers • rethink the division of labor between libraries, research offices and departments • make better use of the resources that our publishing editors have at their disposal to support ECRs

47th Annual Meeting (2025)

45
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.
