STM publisher IOS Press has announced the launch of the new IOS Press Labs website. Labs is a virtual blogging platform where possibilities can be explored, and experiences shared. The platform can be used to showcase latest technological advancements impacting knowledge dissemination and innovative content developments, intelligent tools, participation in pioneering scholarly information industry initiatives, and provision of insights into trends in the publishing ecosystem.
Offering a platform that promotes collaboration and feedback, Labs content centers around data management, innovation, open science, the research ecosystem, STM publishing, and technology. The aim is to spark discussions among members of the stakeholder communities: authors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, readers, librarians, developers, collaborators, and the wider research ecosystem. Topics of particular interest are: artificial intelligence; case studies; “failing forward;” corporate/brand identity; data policies/data sharing; digital transformation; diversity and inclusion; editorial policies; knowledge graphs; linked data; machine learning; open access; open source; publication ethics; software development; and workflow tools for scholarly publishing.
Coming on IOS Press’ 34th anniversary, the launch marks the culmination of the first phase of the company’s 2021 digital innovation strategy. The next phases include plans for transforming and integrating web initiatives over multiple platforms.
