The Society Publishers’ Coalition has announced the results of its first Council election. Elections were held in September to create a representative council to lead the Coalition’s work. Each membership organisation was given six votes, and only one representative per organisation voted. The election criteria required that Council must include at least one Humanities and Social Science (HSS) and one Science Technology and Medicine (STM) publishing member as well as at least one commercially published and one self-published member.
The Council, in alphabetical order, include: Rod Cookson (IWA Publishing, Self-published, STM); Sally Hardy (Regional Studies Association, Commercial, HSS); Catherine Hill (British Ecological Society, Commercial, STM); Malavika Legge (Biochemical Society, Self-published, STM); Tasha Mellins-Cohen (Microbiology Society, Self-published, STM); and Stuart Taylor (Royal Society, Self-published, STM).
The first Council meeting set out the terms of reference and agreed on the Council structure, positions, and individual tenures. Two officers have been appointed for the first six months of the Council.
