====================================================================
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
