DIY Meets Traditional Publishing: Developing Value-Added Partnerships Date: Monday, May 23, 2016 Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (EDT) Location: Virtual Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=507117&orgId=nfais&recurringId=0 ==================================================================== What's Covered: Do-it-yourself (DIY) scholarly publishing has been on a growth path in recent years, driven in part by the advent of the cloud and by entrepreneurial companies that have developed workable DIY publishing platforms. While it?s still early in the life span of DIY scholarly publishing, one key question is: what does the future hold for this type of service as a new way for scholars to disseminate and share their research? Other key questions involve the economics of DIY scholarly publishing: are DIY services disintermediating traditional publishers? Or is the landscape changing wherein authors are in control and creating opportunities to drive value to the scientific scholarly community? In this NFAIS Webinar, Monday, May 23, join Authorea?s Alberto Pepe, Peerwith?s Joris van Rossum, PhD, and Ivo Verbeek, M.Sc., and MIT Press?s Bill Trippe, each of whom will examine DIY publishing as a new link being deployed between existing publishers and emerging service providers with the focus on serving the needs of scholarly authors. Our expert presenters will discuss: ? New tools and services that enable researchers to collaborate, share and connect with one another on their terms ? Challenges researchers are facing with traditional publishing models ? What DIY means to authors and how publishers can support a more collaborative environment to foster transparent scientific discovery ? How Peerwith integrates with Mendeley to give authors the ability to enhance research collaboration ? Whether a more openly collaborative environment reflects a shift toward more value-added collaborations between all stakeholders Presenters (listed per presenter order): Alberto Pepe, Co-founder, Authorea (NFAIS 2016 Startup Shootout Winner) Joris van Rossum, Co-founder, Peerwith Ivo Verbeek, Co-founder, Peerwith Bill Trippe, Director of Technology, MIT Press Join us for this NFAIS Webinar to learn more about DIY scholarly publishing and how this method of scholarly research dissemination and communication fits into the overall scholarly publishing environment.

This dynamic is evolving via collaboration between research institutes, governments, publishers and the public at large, all of which are promoting a transformative environment that cuts across industries and fields of study for exploration and discovery. Much of this the momentum behind the open data movement comes from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's 2013 memorandum, "Expanding Public Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research." In addition, the UK already has implemented firm data archiving policies and mandates. To this end, clear benefits of open data sharing are emerging - increased visibility of scholarly work, safe storage for data through archiving, the optimization of publicly funded research, and the benefit to the public's well-being through more rapid advancement of scientific research and discovery. Yet challenges and risks need to be addressed to ensure open data's future, including privacy concerns, complying with complex funder mandates, managing reuse policies and ensuring responsible researcher interpretation of shared data. To explore these issues in-depth, NFAIS is hosting a two-part virtual workshop, to be held on Thursday, June 16 and Monday, June 20, that will address current open data mandates and models by a diverse range of expert presenters from leading universities, open source application developers, publishers and researchers. Who should attend this two-part NFAIS Workshop: scholarly researchers, publishers, librarians, government agency officials, non-profit scholarly society and foundation staff, and information services consultants. Special Note: This is an NFAIS Virtual Workshop taking place in two parts - just register once to attend both events!
