Scientific Programme

Indicative programme, subject to changes.

At the core of our scientific programme will be six sessions exploring how editorial teams and publishers can strengthen standards, demonstrate quality, and measure the true influence of published research. Through six expert-led sessions, participants will gain practical insights into reproducibility, metrics, standard-setting frameworks, competitive positioning, and strategic planning and take home actionable strategies to enhance journal quality, visibility, impact, and long-term sustainability.

1. Standards, Quality, and the Reception of Published Research
2. Understanding Metrics: What They Mean and How to Use Them
3. Methods for Setting and Upholding Editorial Standards
4. Influence, Impact, and Financial Sustainability
5. Ten Actions Every Editor/Publisher Should Take to Maximise Impact
6. Developing a Strategic Plan for Quality, Visibility, and Viability

Throughout the event, before and after, these six core sessions will be supplemented with satellite sessions from our Regional Chapters, our Special Interest Groups and our Professional Role Groups. We are also planning sessions from our sponsors and collaborations with fellow Societies.

Further ideas are being explored to make this The Go-To Event of the year for editors, publishers, and scholarly communication professionals. See you there!
