Keynote: A view from another media sector (TBA)
Moderator: Howard Ratner, CTO Nature Publishing Group
New technologies are rapidly changing the landscape of other media sectors as much or perhas even more than for STM. Some sectors, like newspapers, go through difficult times,. TV seems to be able to adapt more easily to new times, while the finance sector can more comfortably rely on the must-have facotr for their information. Or can they? Our keynote speaker will present an insider's view of the affect of technology changes in their own area.

Innovations of the researcher's workflow: How my life changes
Moderator: David Martensen, ACS Senior Scientist Strategic Planning and Analysis
Hear the researchers' inside views on how new publishing technologies change the way they work, how they do their research and how this effects their publishing patterns and routines.

Addressing the Discontinuity between doing research and disseminating research
Professor Philip E. Bourne, Pharmacology UCSD, and Editor-in-Chief of PloS Computational Biology

In a previous era the discontinuity between doing research and publishing it was understandable. Ideas and hypotheses were written in laboratory note books, results of experiments would be manual readings also written in note books and manuscripts would be typed and hardcopy submitted for publication. In an era were we have a digital continuum across the scientific process, it is surprising how little has changed. We, as scientists, are largely to blame. As providers and consumers of science we have not pushed publishers to better disseminate our science so that it can be more widely and more easily comprehended. We are hung up on the rewards of the traditional process, when we should be doing more to change it. Open access opened the door slightly, interactive PDFs and semantic tagging are examples of further steps, but data, methods and the knowledge derived from those data and methods typically remain disparate, and little use is made of modern digital technologies such as rich media [1] to address these shortcomings and I will follow up with at least how we and other scientists are trying to move the ball forward.

And UP goes Research Productivity: new publishing tools

Moderator: Eefke Smit, STM Director, Standards and Technology

For companies like Elsevier and Thomson Reuters, launching tools that improve researchers' productivity, is core of their publishing strategy; two directors of the companies explain their approach. Across the STM industry, in a new initiative that spans wider than just publishing companies, ORCID is launching a new facility that should make all our lives easier: a universal identifier for researchers and contributors.

New and emerging technologies for reference software
Jason E. Rollins, Director of Product Development, Thomson Reuters Scientific and Healthcare

SciVal: measuring research trends and productivity & SciVerse: providing more
tools for the research community
Niels Weertman, Director Scopus, Performance & Planning and Collaboration Tools

ORCID, a universal ID for authors and contributors
Howard Ratner, CTO, Nature Publishing Group

Closing Keynote: No Time to Think (TBA)

Moderator: Gerry Grenier, Staff Director, Publishing Technology, IEEE

New apps and new tools make everything faster, deliver more information in less time, require multi-tasking and being connected 7 x 24. What does it do to our brains, to the way we think? Our closing keynote will add some second thoughts on what all these new apps do to us - do they really make us more productive?
