Dear colleagues,



*With apologies for cross-posting*



*Insights: the UKSG journal* is a peer-reviewed, open access journal with
an international readership across the LIS and publishing communities. All
APCs are paid by UKSG.



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.



We are also considering what a post-Big Deal environment might look like
and what this means in terms of the skills information professionals – in
libraries, publishing houses and in the organisations providing services to
them – will need to develop as the landscape changes. In addition, we are
interested in inclusivity and the impact of initiatives to improve
inclusion within the sector.



We welcome submissions in the form of opinion pieces, research papers and
case studies on these subjects:

   - research infrastructure and technology
   - the role for libraries and publishers in a post-Big Deal environment
   - skills for information professionals
   - inclusivity in the community and particularly tangible results people
   are seeing from their drive for inclusivity on their chosen measure.
