The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) has announced that nominations are now open for the 2025 SSP Emerging Leader Award, which will be presented at the organization’s 47th Annual Meeting in Baltimore this May.
This esteemed award recognizes an SSP member with 1 to 8 years of experience in scholarly publishing or communication who has demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and service.
