Symbiosis Between Research Collaboration Networks and Publishers in an Open Access Landscape

Considered by some as major disruptors to the publishing ecosystem at their launch, research collaboration networks have been embraced by the scientific community but eschewed by many publishers. As funders' Open Access policies and author preferences have led to an increase in CC-BY licensed content, publishers are forging partnerships with research collaboration networks to gain a better understanding of how syndicated content is being consumed. One such content syndication pilot between ResearchGate and Rockefeller University Press (RUP) entered its first phase in late 2021 when RUP joined publishers Hindawi, Springer Nature, and Wiley making their content available directly on the ResearchGate platform. In this session, viewers are invited to look at content syndication partnerships in depth, gain a better understanding of the technical details, and consider how the scientific community can benefit from content syndication. || Learning Level: Mixed-Learning || Speakers: Rory Williams; Susan King; Luke Barrett; Ijad Madisch; Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe

44th Annual Meeting (2022)

“Building a More Connected Scholarly Community” The last 19+ months have been a fascinating contradiction, making us feel both painfully disconnected and also perhaps more bonded than ever before. How can we take the strengths we already possessed as a community, fold in lessons learned during the pandemic, and aim for being an even stronger, broader, and more connected community? Our Annual Meeting brings together academics, funders, librarians, publishers, service providers, technologists, and countless others with a communal interest and stake in the dissemination of scholarly information. We look forward to the 44th Annual Meeting as an opportunity to reconnect and to connect anew.
