2019 Charleston Library Conference

The scholarly publishing ecosystem is having to adapt following changes in funding, scholarly review, and distribution. Taken alone, each changemaker could markedly influence the entire chain of research consumption. Combining these change forces together has the potential for a complete upheaval in the biome. A panel of stakeholders representing researchers, editors, librarians, publishers, digital security experts, and content mediators address such questions as what essential components constitute scholarly literature and who should shepherd them. Help shape the productivity and progress of the scientific community as a whole by joining this timely dialogue on the care, feeding, and safekeeping of peer-reviewed scholarly research.
