Attracting Authors and Readers

Date: 08 May 2008   Drinks: 18:30   Talk Starts: 19:30 OPuS Event

Description

- the Potential of Web Resources

This event is sponsored by Atypon www.atypon.com

In most disciplines it is now possible to assume that all scholars are virtual scholars and that they can be optimally reached through the web. For journal publishers (particularly STM) the web-site is the front-line for attracting authors and readers and a lot of money is now spent providing author services including online editorial systems and user experiences (mimicking Google) in order to get the best authors and the most users. Our speakers will be looking at modes of providing authors with encouragements to submit to your journal, and ways of giving potential readers navigation and other enhancements to make it easy to find the article sought or enable browsing mechanisms leading to pleasant discoveries.

This event will be preceded by the OPuS AGM (normally only takes 5 minutes!)


Speakers

Nancy Wing — Senior Web Publishing Manager, Wiley-Blackwell
