Conference - the transformation of research communication
London, Friday 13 April 2007
Is the journal article still the central output of research - it could be
argued that the primary output is data, and articles are fast becoming just
one part of a continuum of communication, from informal to formal, among the
community of researchers. If publishers are to have a continuing role in
facilitating and adding value to the transfer of research information, they
need to understand what is happening - how researchers work today, how they
communicate, and what they need.
This one day conference provides a unique opportunity for publishers to
question the environment in which they operate and how they can continue to
add real value for their customers.
