The October issue of Learned Publishing is now online
How can publishers support early career journal editors? The October issue begins with an editorial focusing on how publishers can help ECR journal editors find a balance between their academic workload and journal editorial
responsibility. Written by the ALPSP Early Careers Editor, Megan Ainsworth, the editorial provides insights from senior academics and ECRs working in the Humanities and Social Sciences – do you think scholarly publishers are doing enough to support ECRs as
journal editors?
The issue also includes authors’ perspectives on publishing in predatory open access journals, the views of North American journal editors on text recycling and practical approaches for converting journals to open access through Subscribe to Open. A great selection
of topics touching on current ‘big questions’ in the scholarly publishing community!
A usual topics are wide ranging – so hopefully there will be something for everyone!
Here are just a few of the articles in the October issue of Learned Publishing...
- Text recycling: Views from an interview‐based study’ presents results from an interview‐based study of 21 North American journal editors, from a broad range of academic disciplines, which investigates how editors
view the contentious practice of recycling journal articles.
- In Maximizing dissemination and engaging readers, Toby Green argues that article promotion and visibility “should be the other 50% of what authors do.”
- The harsh world of publishing in emerging regions and implications for editors and publishers tackles the pressures for Vietnamese researchers to publish in high-impact international journals.
- Misrepresentation of institutional affiliations is the focus of an original case study of Chilean authors and implications for universities, publishers, and policy makers.
And lots more….
