The 2024 NISO Plus Global/Online conference, set to take place on September 17-18, is fast approaching, and the preliminary program is now available. As with all NISO Plus events, the focus is on identifying problems in the scholarly ecosystem that the community can solve together. The conference format is designed to foster conversation during the sessions, empowering attendees to be a part of any solutions that might emerge. With the early bird registration deadline of August 9 nearing, excitement is building for this unique, fully virtual event.
Proposed by members of the community and reviewed and selected by the NISO Plus 2024-25 Planning Committee, the sessions for this two-day event cover a wide range of interests and concerns in scholarly communications. The program includes discussions on persistent identifiers and metadata, emerging technologies and AI in scholarly publishing, research integrity, open research and open research infrastructure, open data, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in scholarly communications. With speakers representing libraries, publishers, and service/scholarly infrastructure providers from around the world, the conference offers a variety of perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the global information community. The event will be held in two time blocks, allowing for live participation across multiple time zones.
The NISO Plus Global/Online program will also feature keynote addresses from leaders in the information community, such as Ginny Barbour, editor of the Medical Journal of Australia, Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, and advocate for open research and research integrity. Special sessions will provide updates on current NISO standards projects. Attendees are encouraged to check the NISO Plus blog regularly for updates on programming, speakers, the conference social event, and more.
