SSP has announced the seventh annual New Directions in Scholarly Publishing Seminar. The seminar will take place on October 4 and 5 at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Conference Center in Washington, DC, and online.
This year’s seminar, 'Navigating the Shifting Sands: Managing Disruptions in Scholarly Communications,' will help attendees identify and address commercial and cultural disruptions. This hybrid meeting will allow attendees to connect in person and online.
The New Directions Seminar working group, led by Lettie Conrad (independent consultant), developed the program, which identifies current challenges and new developments in every step of the scholarly process–from research preparation to discovery to promotion. Speakers will represent a diverse and passionate group of experts from academia, publishing, libraries, and industry service providers.
The Keynote speaker, Dr. Rebecca Weintraub Brendel (Director of the Center for Bioethics and the Director of the Master of Science in Bioethics Program at Harvard Medical School), will close the day on October 4. Dr. Brendel will reflect on challenges and opportunities for navigating new directions in research integrity, addressing what drives fraud and what publishers can do to safeguard quality and trust in scholarly communications.
Session topics include: Rethinking Funding, Research Projects, and the Global Body of Knowledge; Tech Topics that ChatGPT Thinks You Should Know About; Sharing and Publishing Research Data: Challenges & Opportunities; Authorship in the Age of AI; New Models and New Voices; and Developing a Growth Mindset.
