Session: New models for content dissemination and review

Session organizer: Jason Priem

When: Tues, March 19th 14:00-15:30

While traditional papers in traditional formats remain the bread and butter of scholarly communication the past 12-18 months have seen a significant amount of more exotic fillings. Venues for data publication, sharing software, workflows, as well as new mechanisms of distribution are increasing in number, but also more importantly gaining authors and users. In this session we’ll have presentations from developers of new scholarly communications services followed by a panel session in which we will draw out the themes and look forward to coming developments in the next 12-24 months.
