How Publishers and Librarians Can Work Together to Support Early Career Researchers

Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are at the heart of the future of research. They bring fresh perspectives and unique insights, but often lack the support, publishing experience, and connections that more experienced researchers have. With up to 80% or more of ECRs pursuing a career outside academia post PhD, much of the research created by ECRs goes unpublished. This is a significant loss to the knowledge creation infrastructure. This panel brings together publishers and librarians to discuss how we can work together to better support ECRs throughout their different career paths and ensure that their key insights are not lost but rather amplified.

Panelists will address:

• how we can better bridge the gap between libraries, research offices, and publishers

• rethink the division of labor between libraries, research offices and departments

• make better use of the resources that our publishing editors have at their disposal to support ECRs
