Connecting the Knowledge Community
We have just published our list of topics for seminars in 2019, with provisional dates and venues! Please register your interest and we will send you more details for them as they become available.
In 2019, Insights will be exploring the future of scholarly communication. We are interested in how new infrastructure and technology will change the scholarly communication landscape and better enable direct connections between research funders, institutions and researchers.
The UKSG Annual Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Telford International Centre and is a major event in the scholarly communications calendar which attracts over 900 delegates each year from around the world - librarians, publishers, content providers, consultants and intermediaries. The conference combines high-quality plenary presentations, lightning talks and breakout sessions with entertaining social events and a major trade exhibition.
A recent survey undertaken by the Think.Check.Submit. team reveal the need for additional work to help researchers select journals to publish in and will help guide development of the initiative in 2019. UKSG is pleased to support this work. See the INASP blog post here: http://bit.ly/2EwEiiU
General bookings for exhibition booths for Telford are now open! You will find a link to the floorplan on the conference page: https://www.uksg.org/event/conference19 with a link to the bookings site. Any questions, please email Karina@KHEC.co.uk
UKSG has announced that following an internal staffing restructure, Alison Whitehorn, UKSG Business Manager, has left the organisation. Alison has worked for UKSG since January 1999, and she has made a major contribution to the success of the organisation over that period.
