This call for papers should be of interest to LIBLICENSE readers.

For those unfamiliar with its history, Researcher to Reader is the
successor to the annual conference of the Association of Subscription
Agents, which was discontinued a couple of years ago. Mark Carden
picked up the flag and organized the first R2R Conference this past
February, and it was excellent – a great blend of speaking/panelist
sessions and smaller-group workshops with deliverables.

Subject: [SCHOLCOMM] Call for Proposals - Researcher to Reader
Conference, London, 20 & 21 February 2017

<Apologies for cross posting>

Call for Proposals

The Researcher to Reader Conference is the forum for discussion of the
creation and dissemination of international scholarly content. The
Conference Advisory Board is inviting proposals for participation in
the next Conference, on 20 & 21 February 2017.

A proposal could include a topic, presentation, panel or workshop for
the event, or a nomination for a speaker, panellist or facilitator.
Each speaker, panellist and facilitator is offered a complimentary
place at the conference.

Please respond by 31 August 2016; although later submissions may be considered.

Proposals
Each proposal should include the following information:

Title and format of the proposal (presentation / workshop / etc)
Name, contact details and credentials for the proposer / speaker /
panellist / facilitator
A description or abstract of about 100-300 words

We are particularly seeking participation by librarians, researchers,
editors and funders, and by people based outside the UK.

Please send suggestions, proposals or any other communications to the
Conference Chairman, Mark Carden, at [log in to unmask] For additional
information about the 2017 Conference and Programme, please visit the
website at www.R2RConf.com

Themes & Topics
We welcome suggestions for themes and topics that would be relevant,
and of interest to our delegates, ideally accompanied by suggestions
for appropriate speakers. Although we are open to a wide range of
topics, some of the subject we are particularly keen to include in the
2017 programme include:

International Funding and International Research Collaboration
Metrics in Funding, Discovery and Usage
Marketing and Selling Scholarly Content (Paid or Free)
The Financial Future of Learned Societies
Access, Authentication & Entitlement

Presentations
Speaker sessions can be in the form of either presentations (lasting
approximately 20-40 minutes) or 'lightning talks' (where the speaker
will have a very brief opportunity to just introduce a topic).

Workshops
Delegates attend one out of about six workshop topics, and each has a
duration of 2½ hours, split across three sessions during the two days
of the Conference. Workshops work best when discussing and resolving a
clearly-defined question or problem.

Panels
Panel discussions are a chance for both experts and general delegates
to discuss a key topic of interest to the community. Panels work best
where an issue needs discussion amongst knowledgeable pundits, and
where the chair is well-prepared and an excellent facilitator.
