Join Scholastica’s head of marketing and community development, Danielle Padula, and founder of the industry-leading Journalology newsletter and consultancy, James Butcher, for a water cooler chat about how the role of journal editors is transforming with technology on September 27th at 3 PM UTC in honor of Peer Review Week 2024. Click here to visit the YouTube event page.
Another international Peer Review Week is upon us! The theme for PRW 2024, “Innovation and Technology in Peer Review,” offers an opportunity for publishers, editors, authors, reviewers (and the many other research stakeholders!) to ruminate on the rapidly expanding role of technology in peer review and engage in discourse about how to address related challenges and harness emerging opportunities.
At Scholastica, we’ve been thinking a lot about how the role of the journal editor is changing with technology. So, we decided to host a YouTube water cooler chat event about “the new journal editor” of the 21st century. Scholastica’s head of marketing and community development, Danielle Padula, sat down with the founder of the industry-leading Journalology newsletter and consultancy, James Butcher, to consider the questions:
Who is the “new journal editor” of today? And how can editors keep up with the rapid pace of change?
Many thanks to James for taking the time for this lively and thoughtful discussion!
