Apologies for cross posting

STM is holding its Annual Spring Conference and Innovations Seminar in
Washington DC next week. Registration for both events is still available
and we hope some of you will be joining us:

Stewardship of Knowledge: Building a Framework for the Future of Scholarly
Publishing

29 April – 1 May 2014, Washington Marriot, Washington DC USA

Publishers, authors, academic institutions, corporations, learned societies
and governments are increasingly confronted with growing and changing
responsibilities in providing, vetting, managing, and curating knowledge in
ever-changing formats. There are many facets to the stewardship of
knowledge - increasing issues of ethics and trust in publishing, problems
of government funding cut-backs across the sciences, collection, curation
and governance of big data. Who is responsible for what in the chain of
knowledge? Who will be responsible in the future? This conference is the
first to discuss these topical issues.

STM Innovations Seminar: Bright Research, Smart Articles and the new Author
Ego-System

29 April 2014, Washington Marriot, Washington DC USA
