Early Online Publication: making it work
Thursday 9 December 2004

Chair: Professor David Reeves, Editor, Journal of Antimicrobial
Chemotherapy

Venue: Society of Chemical Industry, 14/15 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X
8PS

Overview

Pressure for timely publication is leading many publishers to set up
advance publication sites. For those either considering establishing their
own sites, or wishing to compare their experiences with other publishers,
this seminar will present case studies and experiences from several STM
publishers who use different models of advance publication. It will also
consider the questions that these sites raise: are they simply to entice
authors? Are they valued by users? How can they be maintained efficiently
and cost-effectively? Are they worthwhile continuing? Are they only
required by the STM market?

With speakers from three publishers with extensive experience of different
types of advance publication, plus representation from the humanities
journals, the user community and journal editors, this event promises to
be a unique opportunity for discussion about the concept of advance
publication.
