The mega journal: open access, peer-reviewed, and typically defined by a very large number of papers published compared to other scholarly journals. In recent years a number of commercial publishers, scholarly and professional societies, and university presses have branched out into this relatively new form of scholarly communication. Please join us for a timely discussion on the origin of the mega journal, and where it fits within the larger publishing landscape.

Panelists:

* Dr. Nandita Quaderi  Publishing Director, Open Research, Nature Publishing Group

* Dr. Deborah Sweet  Editor and Publishing Director, Cell Press

* Dr. Jason Wilde  Chief Publishing Officer, American Institute of Physics

The panel moderator is Scott Warren, Associate Dean for Research and Scholarship at Syracuse University Libraries
