ALPSP webinar: Making the case for embracing Micropublications: Are they a way forward for scholarly publishing?

June 26th 2019
Online

Researchers have been working with the pressures of “Publish or Perish” for decades. The default response is to question the value of microPublications that are produced as a result.

But what about when microPublications are carefully defined; peer review is stringently completed; and they enable publishers to more efficiently produce the “longer story” research articles with pre-validated research outputs? Are there largely unknown opportunities and values to be gained quickly?

Can microPublications enable synthesizing and distilling of information and integrate this information in established repositories to create a more meaningful and greater corpus of knowledge – dare we say, global knowledgebase?

In this webinar we will hear from scientific curators with new roles as editors of microPublications, and a publisher who encourages this new publishing genre.
