The National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS) has received a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in support of the NFAIS 2018 Blockchain for Publishers Conference to be held May 15-16, 2018. The day-and-a-half conference is being held at the Embassy Suites, Old Town Alexandria, VA.
The 2018 conference is designed to bring together members of the information services community to explore blockchain's potential application for scholarly publishing and researcher workflows-from data collection to peer review to access of published work.
Topics in the conference include how to prepare for the potential impact of blockchain-based technologies on the information economy in terms of permissions and intellectual property; how blockchain can connect scientific researchers with funding sources or manage researcher grant funding; and how blockchain can be used to improve scientific record-keeping.
