The January 2019 issue of Learned Publishing is now online, and as we have come to expect, is packed with great articles. In recognition of this, the 30th year of Learned Publishing (https://www.alpsp.org/Learned-Publishing) we dedicate our first issue of 2019 to questioning everything. Our goal is to examine the future of publishing through the window of evidence, rather than tradition and status quo. We sought articles that bring fresh, honest thinking to some of our most widely held assumptions about scholarly and professional publishing. We sought articles that bring fresh, honest thinking to some of our most widely held assumptions about scholarly and professional publishing.
As special-issue editor, Andrew Plume, explains in his editorial, we aim to "Bring the facts, bust the myths."
* Pollock and Michael kick off this issue with some Open Access (OA) myth busting
* The article by Hartley and colleagues offers an intriguing answer to an old riddle: "When is a journal not a journal? When it's a club."
* Smart and Gaston then show that the fear may be greater than the threat when it comes to plagiarism in journal submissions
* Upshall helps us see through the hype of artificial intelligence (AI) to understand that it is not a magic bullet solution to our publishing technology problems
* The issue closes with a student's view about the value of a Masters in Publishing, where Charlotte Mauti shows us the face of one of the many publishing professionals who will lead our industry in the years to come
All articles in the January issue are free to all for twelve months on the Wiley Online Library (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/17414857)
