About This Session
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene: Exploring a University/Publisher Partnership
David Seaman. 1:00 - 1:30 pm
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene is a deep partnership between BioOne Publishers and five research intensive organizations – Michigan; Dartmouth; University of Washington; Georgia Institute of Technology; and the University of Colorado Boulder. Each research partner contributes one or more Editors In Chief; in addition, Dartmouth is Elementa's technology partner, hosting the systems and some of the staff that run the publishing endeavor. Combining a commercial peer review platform — Aries Editorial Manager — with an open source publishing layer — Ambra 2.0 from the Public Library of Science — we have a four-year funding commitment, and four full time staff, to build a professional, self-sustaining, open access resource covering Atmospheric Science, Earth & Environmental Science, Ecology, Ocean Science, Sustainable Engineering, and Sustainability Transitions.
Anvil Academic: Humbly presuming to invent the future of academic publishing
Fred Moody. 1:30 - 2:00 pm
Anvil Academic is a publisher of born-digital and born-again-digital, post-monograph scholarly research. Anvil seeks to bridge the gap in academic discourse between traditional analog publishing and present-day digital scholarly output. Academic research is increasingly created and consumed on digital devices, yet academic careers still rely for advancement upon outdated publishing metrics--e.g., publication of the (no longer read) printed monograph and journal article. Anvil seeks to bring traditional publishing's editing, peer review, and imprimatur to digital scholarly argument, thereby applying properly rigorous academic metrics to new-form, post-monograph, scholarly expression. Our hope is to bring such work into the academic mainstream.
