Effecting change in scholarly communications requires engaging with and mobilizing communities of all shapes and sizes—from small, local groups of researchers working in a specific discipline to large, global networks of individuals from a broad spectrum of organizations and sectors; from a community of interest to a community of practice. Determining who your community is, creating a sense of belonging among the members, and finding ways for them to work together are challenges that all community initiatives in scholarly communication must face.
The speakers on this session have significant experience working with a range of different communities in scholarly communications, from coordinating a network of data science instructors to advocating for improved technical infrastructure in scholarly communication. They will share their experiences of working on community efforts including ASAPio, the Carpentries, C4DISCO, CHORUS, Metadata 2020, ORCID, and more, including addressing what community means in these organizations, and identifying what their communities have in common and where they are unique.
The audience will also be encouraged to share their own experiences, success stories, and challenges, and to help us start to map the many ways that approaches to building community in scholarly communication are similar and can build upon one another, as well as how and why paths may diverge.
