Secrets to changing behavior in scholarly communication

Webinar

Scope

Please join us to reflect on how, in the worldwide academic and research community, we can be more effective in engaging stakeholders in doing things differently. Whether it’s publishing online rather than in print, or investing in open infrastructure, or engaging with a data repository, or one of many more initiatives to improve the state of scholarly communication, the speakers will argue that marketing – which draws skepticism from many corners in our community – can increase the impact of every initiative and lead to sustained behaviour change. This webinar will explore how marketing has been adapted to serve the public and academic sectors, opportunities to better leverage marketing strategies in scholarly communication, and ways to work smarter today.

The program will include speakers Jennifer Gibson, Executive Director, Dryad and Nici Pfeiffer, Chief Product Officer, Center for Open Science. 

This program is an introduction to the NISO Summer Training Series on the same topic.

Event Sessions

Speakers

In anticipation of the discussion, the following questions have been posed to our speakers:

How can social marketing principles be applied to drive behavior change in open science and scholarly communication?

How can stakeholders—researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers—collaborate to create lasting, systemic change in scholarly communication?
