Registration is open for the MLA webinar “Increasing Rigor and Promoting Open Science: New Directions in Scholarly Publishing”. It will take place on Wednesday, August 30, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT. Please see below for more details, including the link to registration.
If you follow science news, you know that researchers in every field are under pressure to increase the rigor and reproducibility of their work and to make their work and data open to all.
If you work in scholarly communication, you also know that the options of where and what to publish are changing rapidly and in confusing ways in response to this pressure. If you are looking for one webinar that brings you up to date with initiatives to incentivize new forms of scholarly publication and other innovations in scholarly communication, this webinar is it.
Melissa Rethlefsen, a researcher on reproducibility who has embraced pre-registration, preprints, and data sharing for her own scholarship, and Stephen Gabrielson, an experienced Scholarly Communication Librarian, will be your guides to the latest and most important developments in scholarly communication.
This webinar is worth 1.5 MLA CE credit hours.
