Experiments in Community Engagement at the Society Associations

This session aims to showcase society publishers' community engagement projects that have achieved real results. It will feature case studies from ASCB, ASM, FASEB, and AGU, highlighting their innovative approaches. The ASCB initiative provides guaranteed peer review for members, increasing submissions. ASM focuses on community-building through a sustainable open-access publishing model. FASEB has established an Early Career Researcher editorial board to enhance diversity and inclusion, expanding their team to over 100 members. AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange program and the Community Science Exchange platform support local communities by connecting them with researchers to address community priorities and sharing project reports and peer-reviewed articles. Speakers will engage attendees in dialogue to help them develop their community engagement proposals.
