Workshop C: Publishers and ECRs Working Together

[Administrator]

Many initiatives have been launched that aim to empower early career researchers in the publishing ecosystem. Commercial and non-profit/society publishers alike have recognised the importance of engaging with ECRs, but what do they get out of these relationships and what are the benefits for the ECRs themselves? This workshop will explore the perspectives of both publishers and ECRs on existing initiatives, and generate recommendations to guide future plans. 

FACILITATORS:

• Dr Rose PENFOLD
  PhD Fellow at the University of Edinburgh
• Dr Reinier PROSÉE
  Preprint Community Manager at The Company of Biologists
