Holidays over - did you remember to book?
ALPSP Seminar
Success in East and Central Europe
Friday 3 October 2008 (0930 - 1615)
Venue: British Institute of Radiology, 36 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AT
Chair: Chris Bennett, Oxford University Press
What are the opportunities and challenges facing smaller publishers and
societies in the complex markets of East and Central Europe? What are the
available options for selling and marketing your publications to these
markets? What can be learned from the experiences of other publishers?
The practicalities of dealing with unfamiliar markets can be daunting for
smaller publishers and learned societies with limited resources - and thus a
real challenge. For those who take the initiative, however, the benefits of
working in such a diverse and demanding region as East and Central Europe
are proportionately great.
During this meeting, representatives from smaller and larger publishers will
offer an insight into how to increase your global reach in the region,
including how to source agents and local reps if appropriate, and how to
market your products.
The seminar will include a business update on emerging trends in some of the
key East and Central European countries and an overview of the competitive
landscape and main players. Furthermore, the event will demonstrate in a
practical way how to establish a presence in the region with limited
resources.
Who should attend? This meeting will be of particular interest to management
in small and medium sized publishers, as well as their specialist sales and
marketing staff. It will also appeal to those responsible for the editorial
content of journals and books.

One day ALPSP Seminar/workshop in association with COPE
Ensuring Research Integrity in Biomedical Publishing
Date: Wednesday 22 October, 2008 (0930 - 1645)
Venue: Mayfair Conference Centre, 17 Connaught Place, London, W2 2EL
Chairs: Sabine Kleinert, Senior Executive Editor, The Lancet
Jeremy Theobald, Executive Editor, Emerging Health Threats Forum
The goal of this workshop is to provide delegates with a 'how to...' guide
to ensure the integrity of the research they publish. During the day
speakers will cover the key issues that biological, biomedical, and clinical
journals should consider in order to be ethically robust. In addition,
speakers will address the process of implementing such policies, including
how to decide if adopting a specific policy is right for your journal, how
to do it, what the implications are, and how to communicate your policies to
your authors and readers. This workshop will not be covering publication
misconduct as these are addressed by COPE.
The day is aimed at the Academic Editors of peer-reviewed scientific
journals and Managing Editors (Journal Editors, Executive Editors) and
Editorial Directors of such journals or groups of journals at publishing
houses.
