ALPSP Seminar

Standards … ignore them at your peril!

Setting the Standard

British Dental Association, 64 Wimpole Street, London W1G 8YS

Chair: David Sommer, Product Director and Co-founder, Kudos

#alpspstandards

So, why are standards so important?   Standards allow for clear,
unambiguous and automated communication – freeing up resources and
improving efficiencies and customer service.  A great example from
daily life is EAN-13, the standard for retail barcodes. You don’t need
to know how EAN-13 works, just that it makes your life simpler when it
comes to checking stock, prices and working on the till.  In journals
publishing, implementing the right standards can enhance the value of
your content and improve workflows.  Adopting standards now can also
help to future proof your business.

And what happens if we ignore them? Your content becomes less
discoverable and less usable. Users who are used to touch screen
technology and immediate results will simply go elsewhere if your
material is more than a click away.

Who should attend? Journal publishing staff, particularly those in
Editorial and Production, who want to find out more about the
standards which are being adopted across the industry and the benefits
that they can bring.
