The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) has announced the program for its fourth annual 2020 SSP New Directions Seminar in Scholarly Publishing, happening online from September 30 to October 1.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Directions Seminar explores community, collaboration, and crisis. Learn critical new ways publishers and industry leaders can continue to support academic peer-reviewed research and the entire scholarly publishing ecosystem.
Attendees can expect interactive panel discussions, dynamic keynote speakers, and debate surrounding some of the most talked-about enterprises in the field. Session topics include the emerging use (and subsequent policing) of preprints, and academic publishing after a global pandemic.
Keynote speaker, British geneticist, and the first female editor-in-chief of Nature, Magdalena Skipper, will share what she has learned and navigated as an editorial leader during the COVID-19 pandemic. More seminar highlights include an Opening Discussion with Chefs from The Scholarly Kitchen; Cancelled, Postponed, Reimagined: New Directions in Participating in Academic Conferences; Navigating the “New Normal” of Academic Publishing; Supporting Researchers, Not Just Their Research; Preprints: Testing Science’s Need for Speed Limits; and New Directions in Tools, Visibility, and Findability of Research.
