2013 Allen Press Emerging Trends in Scholarly Publishing™ Seminar
This year’s seminar, Redraw the Map: Setting the New Coordinates for Scholarly Publishing, received very positive responses. The presentations and a list of attendees can be found via the menu links at the left. Several of the seminar topics will be recapped in future issues of Allen Press’ newsletter FrontMatter. You can view photos from the event on our Facebook page.
At our future seminars, Allen Press will continue to deliver programs that contribute to the ongoing discussions and debates in the industry. We hope you will join us for the 2014 Allen Press seminar, tentatively to be held in Washington, DC on April 3. We plan to make the 2014 seminar another informative and thought provoking educational experience.
Seminar Overview:
From antiquarian nautical charts depicting sea monsters at the edge of the known world to modern smartphone apps featuring touchscreen GPS and topographic mash-ups, maps reflect our changing worldview and accumulation of knowledge. Data provided by ancient mariners and astronauts have changed our perspectives, challenged our perceptions, and pointed the way for others to follow. In the same spirit, explorers and innovators in the world of scholarly publishing are plotting the waypoints for the future of scientific communication. Navigating unknown delivery channels. Scouting passages that link users to content. Redrawing the map as we seek fresh approaches and imagine new solutions. Join us on this voyage as we look at pioneering journal startups, technological developments to watch, the transformation of content discovery, and creative alternatives to journal and article metrics—complemented by roundtable discussions and an extended networking lunch.
Who should attend...
This seminar brings together a cross section of non-profit society publishers from around the world, from executive directors and publishing managers to editors and business managers, for the purpose of networking and learning about cutting-edge topics in scholarly and scientific communication.
