About this event
The research sector is changing at pace and disruption is being felt significantly within the traditional publishing industry. Governments globally are challenging funders, researchers, and those who serve them to apply new approaches, models and services to align with open research mandates.
Achieving ‘impact’ is rapidly becoming a top priority, with increasing pressure on research to have an impact in the real world and for researchers to evidence clear pathways to impact. Emerald Publishing are responding, identifying means through which they can diversify and extend their ‘usefulness’ as a publisher, to best support the research community.
In this session, we will outline some of the key drivers for change; examine Emerald’s response, and explore how these challenges are being felt, and addressed, in both Canada and the rest of the world.
Event outcomes:
- An overview of the drivers for change affecting academic publishing
- An understanding of how Emerald Publishing are responding
- An opportunity to share your experience in a global context
