2015 SSP 37th Annual Meeting
Concurrent 5F: How Today’s Startups…
In today’s world of scholarly publishing, there are diverse views not only on where the market is headed, but how it should get there. This panel speaks to those entities moving with the industry, not against it. It is on neither end of the spectrum, but rather sits in the middle, looking at how non-disruptive startups are focusing on what stakeholders want, serving those wants and needs in the least disruptive way as part of the existing infrastructure and benefitting from that position. Startups are by nature innovative and agile, and, if successful, create value as they introduce new products and services to the marketplace. This panel will focus on how startups have helped, are helping, and will help larger, established publishers, as well as smaller players such as small societies and the industry itself, move effectively and efficiently in new directions.
