Researcher Panel: A Discussion of First Hand Experiences

Time to break out of our echo chamber! This panel of experts working as investigators and/or instructors in academic, corporate, or governmental organizations will share first-hand insights into researchers’ experiences within the scholarly realm, answering questions such as 1) How do you select a journal? 2) What role does artificial intelligence play in teaching, research, and publication? 3) How do funding mandates impact your publishing decisions? We will host a diverse line-up of professionals with varied backgrounds, career levels, research disciplines, industry involvement, and other contexts, who can reflect on their experiences as authors, editors, and reviewers. We will discuss the role of AI in research and publishing; experiences with open-access publishing; economic factors that impact publishing journeys; and much more!

New Directions 2024 | From Trends to Tactics: Shaping Scholarly Publishing’s Near Future

7
When we ponder what new directions lie ahead for the scholarly communications and publishing industry, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by predictions of radical change and dire risks that won’t be realized for decades into the future. Funding models are being transformed, digital publishing programs are evolving, and user expectations are diversifying. For strategic and pragmatic purposes, this year’s New Directions Seminar will focus on understanding today’s trends and considering their near-term impacts and implications. Instead of prognosticating what a total overhaul of our industry might encompass for future generations, our goal is to generate actionable insights and practical ideas we can use to address the realities of the next <5 years.
