JOURNAL DEVELOPMENT 2: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FOR JOURNAL MANAGERS
<http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/Meetings/Meeting.aspx?ID=275>
TUESDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2012, LONDON
Courses are highly participative and groups are kept small (generally
between 12-18) to enable full interaction.
DELEGATE COMMENTS
Well-rounded and appropriate for my current role. Information prior to the
course was well-timed and suitable. Course handouts were excellent with a
lot of room for notes - Ryan Kidd, Taylor & Francis
OVERVIEW
This course has been designed as a follow-on from Journal Development 1
which provides participants with a toolbox system for planning the
development of their journals. This more senior course looks at overarching
strategies for journal development (including acquisition and portfolio
development). The course is built around case studies to allow participants
to work on simulated scenarios in order to discuss and test ideas and
strategies with their peers and the course facilitators.
TUTORS
Michael Brown, OUP
Pippa Smart, PSP Consulting

Propose longer-term strategies for developing their organisation's journals
- including plans and proposals to develop existing titles and for
acquisitions and new launches.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This course is aimed at delegates who have experience of managing and
developing journals and are looking for a more senior course that will
examine wider strategic decisions. Delegates will ideally have already taken
the ALPSP Journal Development 1 course, although this is not essential. This
is a level 2 course (2-3 years' experience).
