The Worst of Times; The Best of Times

Keynote Speaker – Annie Callanan, CEO, Taylor & Francis Group

Annie Callanan, CEO of Taylor & Francis, reflects on the challenges that currently dominate the knowledge economy: the consequences of a post-truth world where knowledge and truth are increasingly hard to disentangle from opinion and fake news; and the devaluation of the 20th Century publishing value proposition when the ubiquity of technology allows anyone with access to the internet to call themselves “publisher”. It shouldn’t be this way when what we have at our fingertips has the potential to solve humanity’s most urgent problems.  Annie’s call to action challenges us all to find higher purpose and value by radically rethinking the way we work now.

Round Table on Research Data: Cite, Link and Share

Moderated by: Eefke Smit, Director of Standards and Technology, STM

Research Data is at the heart of Open Science. Publishers can play a pivotal role in making sure that the availability of Research Data is clear to readers and, wherever possible, Research Data is available, is linked to publications and is cited for proper recognition. A round table of experienced publishers in this area will discuss effective ways to do this, and some of the lessons learned, to share good practice with other publishers.

Open access - one size does NOT fit all

Donald Samulack, President, U.S. Operations, Editage / Cactus Communications

Author attitudes to Open Access (OA) from the seven most represented countries in the Editage Global Survey Report (Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States) provide insight into geographic differences in the level of OA awareness, country-specific trends in researchers’ stated reasons for choosing or refraining from OA journals, and specific perspectives of Chinese researchers toward the OA publishing model. Observed geographic differences will be described using survey data and other insights.
