One-Day Conference:
UKSG One-Day Conference: London
Thursday 20 November 2014
Grand Connaught Rooms, London, WC2
Untying the knots and joining the dots:
researchers' needs from funding to outputs and beyond
Over the last few years there has been a focus throughout the scholarly
communications sector on understanding the complexities of how research
actually happens, to how funding decisions are made, how data is created and
shared, how results are communicated, how researchers make information
choices, and how these influence institutional policies.
UKSG's 2014 One-Day Conference brings together speakers from across the
knowledge community to help delegates understand the critical issues that
shape what we all do.
· What do funders, researchers, institutions and publishers expect
and want from each other?
· What are the key issues that we all need to be aware of?
· How are researchers managing changing requirements around funding,
evaluation, communication and more?
· How are library and publisher roles evolving to ensure they
continue to provide relevant support, content and services?
Who should attend
This event is aimed at librarians and publishers who want to better
understand how the changes in scholarly communications are impacting on the
wider research community. It will be of particular benefit to librarians
who are responsible for engaging with researchers and to publishers who want
to know how the changing requirements of scholarly communication will impact
on them.
Join us for enlightening presentations and valuable networking with those
who are shaping the future of how research is managed and communicated.
