What Smaller Publishers Need from Tech Vendors to Level Up

What Smaller Publishers Need from Tech Vendors to Level Up
As the duties and expectations of scholarly publishers keep expanding at an unprecedented rate, emerging technologies present vital opportunities for smaller publishers to do more with less. The challenge for smaller publishers trying to level up in response to industry changes — from new metadata standards to expanding research integrity checks — is finding software and service solutions tailored to publishing programs with limited bandwidth and budgetary resources. How can vendors best support their unique needs? During this panel-style session, smaller publishers and vendors will come together to discuss how each party is thinking about critical publishing issues and how they can most effectively work together, with a focus on: - Peer review and publishing workflow optimization - Metadata management and interoperability - Research integrity in the age of AI

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.
