NFAIS Workshop: Beyond the PDF: Emerging Trends in Next Generation Articles
Date: Thursday, March 23, 2017
Time: 9:00 am – 12:30 pm EDT
Location: Virtual
Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=524367&orgId=nfais
====================================================================
What's Covered:
There’s a change occurring in the delivery of scientific content. The
development and application of virtual reality and augmented reality
is changing research in nearly every field, from the life sciences to
engineering. As a result, scholarly content is also changing its
direction from print centric to fully submersed digital.
Historically, scientific content has been simple text and figures. To
create higher quality, more intuitive and engaging content, scholarly
communication has witnessed a shift to video and, most recently,
researchers have begun to include data to create next generation
content types that supplement and enrich their works.
Scholarly communication will continue this trend, requiring the
delivery of content that is more innovative and interactive. However,
in a world where the PDF has dominated the industry for years, new
skills and technologies will be needed to ensure reader use and
engagement remain stable as the information services industry shifts
to accommodate new forms of content and articles enhanced by virtual
and augmented reality.
Implementing and delivering on augmented or virtual reality
supplemental material, and supporting them with the necessary tools
for engagement, is no easy task. For as much as interest, discussion
and innovation are occurring—as with all disruptive entrants—questions
will need to be answered, issues addressed, and best practices
established so that publisher, author and end-user can benefit from
the results of deeper content engagement.
For publishers who work directly with scholars and researchers, this
pivot means they must re-examine the needs of their customers,
understand what they need delivered, where they expect to find that
information, and how they want to interact with it. This will require
publishers to update their current infrastructures, submission
practices and guidelines, as well as develop or license software to
keep pace and meet the needs of their authors and readers.
Join us for this NFAIS Half-Day Virtual Workshop, Thursday, March 23,
2017, where our expert panel examines:
* Why interactive content is imperative to the research community, and
the different types of content and formats that are emerging as a
result.
* How augmented reality and virtual reality can be used to increase
the value of scholarly communication.
* The challenges of ensuring quality and reproducibility within these
content types, including the application of emerging technologies to
current workflow and submission guidelines.
* The new skills necessary for content creation, management and
delivery, and consequent roles of the publisher.
* Implications for academic libraries, and the benefits of integrating
library services to create new pedagogies, new media, new
technologies, and new concepts for library engagement and learning
encounters.
* Who should attend this NFAIS Workshop: scholarly researchers,
publishers, discovery service providers, research librarians,
government agency officials, non-profit scholarly society staff plus
information services advisors and software and tool developers.
