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.
