Beyond the Paper: Navigating Academic Publishing now and in the future’ Career Development event

14 June 2021

Changes to the publishing landscape, such as an increase in preprint publications, and rapid sharing of alternative publication formats including the COVID-19 genomic sequence have highlighted the value of publications often not considered in research evaluations.

Together, these and other factors have changed our perspective on the importance and challenges of scientific communications, available openly to a range of audiences. As an ever-changing landscape, crucial to academic presence and success, publishing offers a complex and important topic of exploration. 

We will be joined on the day by:

• Dr Paul Wicks, participant in the AMS FLIER programme with broad experience in making the most of the academic publishing landscape,
• Dr Prachee Avasthi, president of ASAPbio, a global spokesperson on preprints and open science, and
• Aki MacFarlane, Programmes officer at Wellcome Trust Open Research team, representing funder’s perspectives on the importance and future of open research.
