Innovative forms of scholarly publishing

NISO Plus 2021 was our first virtual conference, held in February of 2021. A global undertaking, NISO Plus 2021 had over 800 participants from 26 countries come together to have a conversation about the state of the information ecosystem. Here you'll find both the presentations and discussions from that event.

Can you help us tell a good PIDstory for the humanities?

Scholarly communications, including publication in books and journals, plays an important role in the career progression of scholars whereas making the essence of humanities scholarship clear to a public audience is often not considered as a significant factor in a scholar’s promotion. How can we harness the power of PIDs to capture and connect all of the good stuff that humanities researchers, practitioners, public partners and more do and often goes underserved and under-recognised in current structures and systems?

We're just starting out on our public humanities and publication journey - we're keen to know how we might make that more PIDdy - contact us for more or just to chat! https://www.nhalliance.org/publishing_and_the_publicly_engaged_humanities_working_group

I am Senior Acquiring Editor for American studies, media studies, and music studies at University of Michigan Press.   I interested in open access publishing, digital publishing, and pushing the boundaries of what ""counts"" as scholarship.   I've been at Michigan for two years now and am particularly proud of my work on the first-ever peer-reviewed rap album, A.D. Carson's  i used to love to dream (DOI: 10.3998/mpub.11738372).  

Content in context is our goal at ScienceOpen. We provide publishing and metadata services embedded within an interactive discovery environment with a focus on preprints, open peer review, and community curation.
