Concurrent 1D: Simpatico or Star-crossed Lovers? Scholarly Communication and Scholarly Publishing Seek to Rekindle Common Passions

Stakeholders hail from very different standpoints yet ultimately all want to facilitate the dissemination of scholarship and research. This session brings together speakers from various standpoints to confront the divergence of agendas and find a common path forward.
