Academic Publishing in Europe 2023
Out with the old, in with the new! Moving science forward means embracing disruption and innovation, rather than clinging to the old ways of doing things. Where is the innovation? We still have to overcome many challenges around ‘digital transformation’. Current legacy tools/technology used within most publishers and institutions do not accommodate this massive and pivotal transition process. How can publishers and libraries respond to and support sustainability issues? And what does all this mean for technology and research infrastructure? Join Digital Science as we have this conversation together at this sponsored conference.
Join us on 10 January 2023 from 2pm – 3:30pm CET for the panel titled Innovation, Technology & Infrastructure , chaired by Dr. Daniel Hook, CEO, Digital Science, London and featuring speakers:
- Dr. Nandita Quaderi, Editor-in-Chief and VP Editorial, Web of Science, Clarivate, London
- Prof. Dr. Philipp Koellinger, School of Business and Economics, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
- Dr. Bianca Kramer, Sesame Open Science, Utrecht
Digital Science will also be sponsoring the The APE Award for Innovation in Scholarly Communication.
The APE Award
The APE Award for Innovation in Scholarly Communication was born to celebrate the 18th birthday of the APE Conference in 2023, and it is going to accompany the conference for the years to come:
This award, supported by Digital Science, will be given to an individual who has brought innovation in scholarly communication to the community, through infrastructure, technology, business models, output on the topic, theory, or practice. Nominees can be part of organizations, or they can be independent.
