The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) congratulates Alice Meadows, their Director of Community Engagement, on her election as President of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP). Alice’s three-year commitment to the industry leadership role begins as President Elect on June 1, 2020.
The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), founded in 1978, is a non-profit organisation formed to promote and advance communication among all sectors of the scholarly publication community through networking, information dissemination, and facilitation of new developments in the field. SSP members represent all aspects of scholarly publishing—including publishers, printers, e-products developers, technical service providers, librarians, and editors.
Alice joined NISO in 2019, after several years as Director of Communications and Director of Community Engagement Support at ORCID, a non-profit organisation that provides researchers with a unique persistent identifier that can be used to connect them reliably with their outputs and affiliations. Before that, Alice held a number of similar roles with content providers, including Blackwell Publishing and Wiley.
An active participant in industry organizations and initiatives, including SSP, The Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), Metadata 2020, PIDapalooza, and others, Alice is also a regular contributor to The Scholarly Kitchen blog and other scholarly communications publications, and speaks at numerous industry conferences and events. Alice received the SSP Distinguished Service Award in 2018, the ALPSP Award for Contribution to Scholarly Publishing in 2016, and the International Society of Managing and Technical Editors Recognition Award in 2013.
