Scholarly Publishing Tech Con 2024

The shift towards open access models, the pressing demand for diversity and inclusivity as well as the significant increase in submissions and publications are challenging the established frameworks and procedures of traditional publishing. Like almost all industries, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the field of scholarly communication.

Even if the outcome of this development is unclear: By adopting a modern technology infrastructure, scholarly publishers can better meet the needs of the research community, foster open and efficient communication of scientific knowledge, and ensure the sustainability and growth of their operations in the digital era. Our digital conference is intended to provide impetus and inspiration to prepare for this process. Get ready for the future of scholarly publishing!
