Capturing More of the Scholarly Lifecycle to Add Value

01:03:22

Whether seeking to advance their mission or to diversify their product offerings and revenues, many publishers are expanding their programs to include additional research outputs, such as posters, preprints, submitted and accepted manuscripts, expanded supplementary material, and gray literature. These outputs can provide tremendous value for the scholarly community. In this session, a panel of industry experts will discuss how independent and society publishers are developing new products and experimenting in their space; will provide an update on preprint publishing and considerations for such products; and will preview a platform for early-stage research, including conference abstracts, posters, and presentations.
