Online journal discovery and delivery: Working with libraries and intermediaries to maximize readership.

Full day interactive workshop:

In this workshop we will discuss and and answer some of these commonly asked questions about discovery and delivery of academic content.

Why do some authentication methods not work in some countries?
Why do people use Sci-Hub when they work in well-funded institutions?
Why do librarians spend so much money on infrastructure?
Why are the usage statistics for my hybrid OA content not higher than my subscription content?
Doesn’t everyone just use Google?
What do I need to do to maximise discovery?
How do I reach my readers if they are hidden within their institution?

The Scholarly Kitchen
Learned Publishing Access

In recognition of this 30th year of Learned Publishing, we dedicate our first issue of 2019 to questioning everything. Our goal is to examine the future of publishing through the window of evidence, rather than tradition and status quo. We invited diverse contributions who could bring fresh, honest thinking to some of our most widely held assumptions about scholarly and professional publishing. As special-issue editor, Andrew Plume, explains in his editorial, we aim to “Bring the facts, bust the myths.”
