Wednesday 5 October 2011
Delegate comments
'The course tutors presented interesting and stimulating content and
offered active solutions to various issues.'
Ellie Gilroy, Taylor & Francis
'Really good round up of editorial management. Useful up-to-date
industry changes covered.' Fiona Shipperlee, SAGE
'Very interesting to see things from alternative perspectives' Louisa
Strain, Society for the Study of Addiction
'As an editorial assistant, this course has given me an excellent
insight into management issues.' Eleanor Maddox, The Institute of
Engineering & Technology
'The course was pitched exactly right and served to affirm much of what
I currently do whilst providing great suggestions for improvement and
development. A very useful booklet with additional material for
reference and further reading. A resource that will sit on my desk! A
great venue and extremely nice refreshments. This was a particularly
useful course to discuss and realise how different publishes
are developing their journals in the current climate of online
development etc.' Rosie Sheridan, Maney Publishing
'Found it extremely useful and very interesting. It addressed many
queries that I had. I think the course was run well and in sufficient
detail. To add more would mean the need to extend the length of the
course.' Lara Finan, IOP Publishing
'Very useful for me as I have recently taken on journal management
responsibilities for two journals.' Verity Emmans, Wiley-Blackwell
Overview:
This course introduces the common issues and tasks encountered in
journal management. Considering various approaches to effective journal
management and relationship building, it enables delegates to build on
their skills to be more effective in meeting the day-to-day challenges
of journal publishing, changing business models and editorial processes.
The emphasis is on practical advice and guidance, and participants will
be able to apply and integrate ideas and suggestions to help improve
their own journals.
Programme:
• What is effective editorial management?
• Journal development and quality improvement
• Relationships with key stakeholders in journals publishing
• Influencing skills and change management
• Key business issues affecting managing editors and publishers
Learning objectives - by the end of the course delegates will be able
to:
Understand stakeholders' needs and consider ways to establish effective
relationships; have an overview of techniques to manage and improve
their journals; have gained advice on how to positively influence
stakeholders and implement change; have a brief overview of the
essentials of the publishing business and how they affect editorial
processes and management, such as contracts, copyright and finances;
have discussed experiences and shared ideas with their peers.
Who should attend:
This course is aimed at junior managing editors/equivalent editorial
personnel, with 1-2 years' experience. Staff newly appointed to these
positions will also benefit provided they have some previous experience
of publishing. It is not suitable for more experienced managing editors
or publishers with more managerial responsibility. As the editorial role
differs between organisations, a questionnaire will be circulated to
attendees prior to the course.
