For scholarly publishers there inevitably comes a time when content must move to a different hosting platform. It’s a painful process and requires much planning and support. However, there are specific tasks platform providers and production teams can undertake to make the transition smoother. For one day only, this panel presentation brings together the platform experts themselves to discuss strategies and tactics that may minimize some (but probably not all!) stress.

This lively discussion will NOT promote one platform over the other, NOR will it advertise platform benefits. Rather, it is an effort to tear down proprietary walls and present collectively to the scholarly publishing community effective methods that promote the dissemination of content.
