Digital Science, a division of Macmillan Science & Education, has launched its new publisher blog - Perspectives. This new blog will offer fresh insights on scholarly communication focused on the publisher arena.
The new blog will focus on publishing and scientific communication that will bring together the voices of a diverse range of stakeholders including publishers, funders, academics and librarians. Issues covered will include innovation in scholarly communication, diversification of the scholarly record, and the evolving needs of the market.
Digital Science serves the needs of publishers by providing innovative technologies that deliver breakthrough metrics and usage data, whilst making content more valuable to researchers and academic end-users.
A collection of publishers such as PLOS, Wiley, F1000, Nature Publishing Group, SciELO, Taylor & Francis, eLife and publishing platform providers Highwire and Atypon currently deliver solutions from the Digital Science portfolio. This new blog hopes to talk about the issues these publishers, and others may face, offering solutions, thought-leadership and news content.
