You may also be interested in learning that I am the Chair of a workshop entitled Outsourcing Challenges, with 3 sessions to be held next week during the R2R Conference on Monday 20th and Tuesday 22nd February at the BMA in London<https://r2rconf.com/programme/>.
Workshop question posed:
What aspects of the scholarly communications process can be outsourced, how can risks be mitigated and how can outsourcing be most effectively managed?
With forecasts pointing to an increase in outsourcing, we ask what services in scholarly publishing will be fully or partially outsourced by 2020. This workshop will address the challenges involved and aim to identify key strategies that can help to mitigate the risks and improve the process, experience and outcome for all those involved.
