Keynote Address: Open Science and the Evolving Landscape of Scholarly Communication

Stakeholders in scholarly publishing have a shared goal of facilitating scholarly communication that is as accessible, timely, and knowledge-advancing as possible. There is enormous opportunity to accelerate that shared objective by improving collaboration and coordination across stakeholders groups. Recent research reveals the process of scholarly communication has inadvertently fostered a dysfunctional culture of incentives and rewards that has had negative consequences for the reproducibility of research. Academic incentives prioritize getting it published over getting it right. No one defends such incentives, but there are few options for individuals to shift the culture to align scholarly values with scholarly rewards. The solutions involve collective action. We can shift the culture toward greater transparency and reproducibility of research with some relatively simple interventions that alter the norms, incentives, and policies by journals, funders, and institutions. But to succeed, we have to do it together.

Breakout: Best Practices for Managing Multi-Journal Portfolio

Given the fluid nature of the scholarly publishing ecosystem, our efforts in the editorial office have increasingly shifted from stewardship of a single, flagship journal to portfolios of oftentimes interlinked publications. This breakout session – gathering publishers affiliated (or partnered with) the American College of Cardiology, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, and Elsevier – will provide attendees with best practices for managing the multiple publications under their purview. Specific topics may include: building strategic partnerships between stakeholders (e.g., editorial office and publisher); facilitating article transfer networks; minimizing tension; and driving growth and impact.

10:30am EDT

Breakout: To Disclose or Not to Disclose: Helping Authors Answer the Question

When is an interest a conflict of interest? Authors often have a foggy understanding of conflict of interest and what affiliations they should disclose during the publishing process, and although allegations of conflict are common, accusers may not understand what a conflict is. The subject is challenging because people can confuse having interests with having conflicts of interest, or conflicts of commitment. Join this session to learn what conflicts of interest are and why they’re important, how to help authors to determine when to disclose (and why they might not), and COPE’s recommendations on the subject. Additional discussion will cover how institutions and journals can work together, including recommendations from a recent symposium on disclosures and the Convey Global Disclosure System.

Breakout: C4DISC: Promoting Diversity, Inclusion & Equity through Collaboration

A number of surveys in recent years have shed light on the lack of diversity in scholarly communications. From issues of gender equality to the noticeable lack of ethnic diversity in our workforce, there is an increasing awareness that, as an industry, we are not a model of inclusivity or equity. Publishing is truly a global enterprise yet that diversity is not reflected in our collective demographics. There are many benefits to having an inclusive, equitable, and diverse work environment. Recognizing this, the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications (C4DISC) was founded by 10 trade and professional associations that represent organizations and individuals working in scholarly communications with the idea that we could have a greater impact by working together to tackle this important issue. Attendees will learn how they can advance the discussion about equity and inclusion in their own organizations utilizing the work of C4DISC as a jumping off point.

Breakout: The Un-RFP: An Alternative Approach to Platform Selection

Online publishing platforms have become key to overall business strategy, and publishers are seeking partnerships that meet business as well as content requirements. Meanwhile, the platform provider landscape continues to be marked by acquisition and consolidation. The once-unthinkable—migrating platforms—is more and more a reality. Platform migration is a massive undertaking, and it’s wise to approach it methodically but strategically. In this session, we will explore an untraditional approach to the standard RFP—the un-RFP. The un-RFP is a process that allows you to become more deeply familiar with the offerings earlier in the journey, and it can speed time to decision as well as quality of the outcome.

Plenary Session: Emerging Publishing Models: Adapting to a Changing Landscape

The way that we publish scholarly information has been evolving for decades, most notably since the advent of the Internet. In recent years the rise of open access and the increasing popularity of preprint servers have given authors more choice over how and where to publish their research. With the need to both disseminate scholarly information and earn revenue to cover costs, while simultaneously accommodating shrinking library budgets and funding mandates, publishers have started getting more creative with the publishing models they use. This session will discuss some of the newer publishing models that have sprouted up, including preprints, “read and publish” models, and submission fees.

Poor ergonomics and a sedentary lifestyle can take a toll on your health, particularly if you spend long hours in front of a computer. This session will explain some of the basics of good ergonomics and introduce some simple strategies to bring movement back into your work day. Then you get to practice what we preach, with actual dance breaks! We will demonstrate both seated and standing options.

Take a brain break and get the lungs and heart doing their work so that you can do yours even better!

Interactive Workshop: Image Manipulation: Risks and Remedies

Several studies have shown a high percentage of published journal articles contain images improperly altered by the author.

Breakout Session: Innovations in Visual Content: Enrichment Beyond the Article of Record

As both the remit and technical expertise of scholarly publishers have grown, our industry has made efforts to advance beyond traditional figures and tables. More innovative and effective data visualization such as medical illustrations, graphical abstracts, infographics, videos, and animation are increasingly valued by researchers and the general public alike. This breakout session – led by industry experts from Editage/Cactus Communications, Slaybaugh Studios LLC, NEJM Group, and Cell Press – will offer a variety of perspectives on this growth area and empower attendees to develop or refine their own workflows. Specific points of discussion will include: the translation of research findings from vision to execution; determining the right kind of visuals for your publication; editorial logistics (i.e., workflow successes and failures); how to best communicate your needs to various stakeholders; what leading publications are doing and how they measure success; and more.

Breakout Session: Predatory Practices: Examining the Impact of Deceptive Publishing and How to Increase Awareness

The Open Access movement has ushered much change to the publishing landscape. In an effort to make scholarly research literature more accessible, this publishing and distribution model has become more and more common, with the advent of Open Access-only and hybrid journals for research to be made readily available to all. However, this change and growth has also made the landscape more of a jungle, forcing authors to navigate between the legitimate peer-reviewed journals and the predatory ones. These for-profit journals use questionable practices to solicit content; this exploitation is growing the conference space, luring researchers to speak at fraudulent conferences for a fee. While predatory publishing has been in our lexicon since 2012, the publishing industry is now feeling the impact. Please join this session to learn more about how predatory publishing has affected scholarly publishing, how to identify the tactics used by predatory publishers, and how your editorial office can best help authors find your publication as opposed to predatory ones.
