2010 Short Course on Publication Management

8:00 am to 4:45 pm, Saturday, 15 May

Objective

To introduce new managing editors and other publication managers to, and to reinforce seasoned publication managers in, efficient and effective methods of managing a journal.

Course Description

The 1-day Short Course on Publication Management is designed to address the management challenges that managing editors and publication managers face every day and also the wide-ranging role that they play. This is the 'basic' course for those new to journal editing; it is also designed to 'fill in the gaps' and provide new ideas and perspectives to experienced managers.

The keynote session of the course will be titled Managing to Lead. Further sessions will address the following topics and will include question-and-answer periods: Managing Communications and People; Working with Publishing Partners; Organizing Workflow; Working with Editors in Chief, Associate Editors, Editorial Boards, Authors, and Reviewers; and Perspectives of Editors, Authors, and Reviewers. Discussions will include current controversies in ethics, conflicts of interest, and open access. The course will conclude with a problem-solving and discussion period; attendees are encouraged to bring specific questions from their own experience for discussion by all faculty and other attendees.
