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!
