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 2013 Allen Press seminar, tentatively to be held in Washington, DC on April 3. We promise that the 2013 event will be another informative and thought provoking educational experience.
Seminar Overview
Disruption, uncertainty, and risk—just another day for the scholarly publisher. Reacting to change. Driving change. Some days it seems like miraculous abilities are called for just to keep up. But publishers are everyday superheroes—getting the job done without flashy feats of wonder. They don’t need superpowers to do what they do. They gain strength from knowledge. By staying tuned in. While they may not be able to fly or transform into different states of matter, and most would find invisibility a bad thing, publishers do have to stay light on their feet. They need to learn, engage, and adapt with agility. To support the everyday publishing superhero, this seminar will offer power-building sessions on ethics and solutions to address author misconduct, alternatives to the Big Deal, PDA for journal acquisition, open access mega journals, and the use of quality metrics for journal content and academic evaluation.
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.
