From how to make the most of metrics to analyse journal performance, to policy initiatives that add societal value beyond publishing, this session will provide Editors, Publishers, and others involved in journal development and strategic planning with tools and tips to built influential journals. Cristina A. Huidiu will focus on how to use citation and other metrics to aid decision making (ie, understanding the impact of your portfolio, and trends and publication patterns in your discipline). James Butcher will take us through a journey to build an influential, quality journal. Juliet Dobson will tell us about how once established, a journal can add value to the field through policy initiatives and community engagement.

I am a medical editor with more than 10 years of experience working in academic publishing. I am interested in clinical research and science policy, and I am passionate about contributing towards gender equity and health for all.
The last few years have seen an explosion of metrics as well as data types used to create insights. During this presentation we’ll be looking at the most common metrics as tools that can be used to help with specific decisions.
