OVERVIEW
This workshop provides an essential practical introduction to the business
of developing journals. The course is highly interactive and participants
will undertake realistic exercises to familiarise themselves with methods of
evaluating their current journal (or portfolio) and provide ideas on how
they can introduce changes. Although familiarity with the scholarly
publishing environment is required, part of the course will also involve
discussion of the role of journals in today's research environment and will
consider what threats and opportunities exist for current publishing models.
