Concurrent 3A: New Tools and Workflows for Manuscript Submission and Peer Review
New technologies and evolving business models are rapidly changing the supply side of the scholarly publishing landscape. A new generation of authors is looking for ways to take greater control of who sees their work, how quickly their manuscripts move through the peer- review process, and ultimately where, and how quickly, they make it to publication. Publishers want to develop and maintain the flow of quality papers, while responding to financial and competitive pressures in the market. This panel discussion will include representatives of PLoS, PeerJ, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, publishers who are using new technologies to speed the dissemination of scholarly information, and HighWire Press and eJournal Press, technology innovators who are creating these technologies.
