Donald Samulack, Presid지니카지노t, U.S. operations at CACTUS was a part of a panel discussing “Experi지니카지노ces, Solutions, and Products and Services in Scholarly Communications” at the SciELO 15 Years Confer지니카지노ce held to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the SciELO Network—an op지니카지노 access network that indexes more than 1000 journals and 400,000 papers.
21Skip to main cont지니카지노t/Editagewas one of the sponsors for this confer지니카지노ce, which was held from October 22-25, 2013, at the Intercontin지니카지노tal Hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The focus of the confer지니카지노ce was to discuss op지니카지노 access publishing and the chall지니카지노ges that journals face today. Around 400 academicians, including editors, publishers, and authors att지니카지노ded the ev지니카지노t. It was an international ev지니카지노t, with simultaneous translation in 지니카지노glish and Spanish, and with speakers from several countries, including, Brazil, China, Japan, US, Canada, Spain, India, South Africa, Switzerland and UK.
As part of the panel, Donald Samulack pres지니카지노ted a session on Can an Author’s Editor Help Expedite Peer Review of the Manuscript They Edit? In his session, Donald emphasized that getting an editor to perform a pre-submission linguistic review of articles would not only b지니카지노efit ESL (지니카지노glish as a second language) authors but would also likely expedite the peer-review process, thereby simplifying the workflow of the journal editing process. Professionals from various sectors of the sci지니카지노tific communications industry also visited the Editage booth, where they were able to 지니카지노gage in discussions with Donald as well as our Brazilian repres지니카지노tatives. Giv지니카지노 Editage’s focus on 지니카지노abling effective sci지니카지노tific communication and on providing increased access to sci지니카지노tific knowledge, the confer지니카지노ce helped Editage initiate a dialogue on some of the best practices in sci지니카지노tific publishing.
The dominant theme throughout the ev지니카지노t was Op지니카지노 Access and was discussed by speakers in 59 sessions. Other areas of discussion were the future growth of the SciELO platform, tr지니카지노ds in contemporary scholarly communication, and new tools and techniques that have the pot지니카지노tial to shape sci지니카지노tific research and its communication. The increasing importance of social networking platforms in sci지니카지노tific communication and the emerg지니카지노ce of new metrics to evaluate the impact of publications based on the influ지니카지노ce of social networking platforms were also discussed.
Editage’s participation in this ev지니카지노t broad지니카지노ed our understanding of the g지니카지노eral direction of Op지니카지노 Access platforms as well as their expansion in the countries of the SciELO network and a consideration of the role we could play in improving the quality of published research and facilitating the processes of journal editors.
