About us
The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), founded in 1978, is a nonprofit organization formed to promote and advance communication among all sectors of the scholarly publication community through networking, information dissemination, and facilitation of new developments in the field. SSP members represent all aspects of scholarly publishing — including publishers, printers, e-products developers, technical service providers, librarians, and editors. SSP members come from a wide range of large and small commercial and nonprofit organizations. They meet at SSP’s annual meetings, IN Conferences, educational seminars, and Librarian Focus Groups to hear the latest trends from respected colleagues and to discuss common and mutual (and sometimes divergent) goals and viewpoints. Mission Statement To advance scholarly publishing and communication, and the professional development of its members through education, collaboration, and networking. Vision Statement SSP will be recognized by members and the global publishing community as the first place to turn for information and dialogue on current and emerging issues in scholarly communication. Goal Statement SSP is the community for everyone engaged in scholarly publishing, an organization where they find forward-thinking programs, important dialogues about the evolving scholarly system, and partners to share their expertise and progress.

🌟 Great start to #sspnd2024 today at American Geophysical Union headquarters. Great to catch up with colleagues and welcome new industry friends to our net zero energy office building. Special shoutout to Table 5 (Emma Hennessey, MBA, David L Sampson, Jenny Cunningham, Karlyn S.) for the lively discussion on AI tools, modernizing workflows, workforce development and spoiling cats. It was fascinating to see the almost perfect 50/50 split among attendees regarding their trust of AI use within the publication process. This timely discussion, as part of the "AI: The Scholarly Ally: From Open Science to Global Dissemination" session highlighted the diverse perspectives on the integration of AI tech in scholarly publishing.

The 2024 SSP New Directions in Scholarly Publishing Seminar was opened today with a keynote address by Michele Avissar-Whiting, Director of Open Science Strategy at HHMI. She discussed the future of research dissemination and how it’s evolving with new technologies. She asserted that the traditional “Review, Curate, & Publish” model—where drafts are privately reviewed and published through journals—is being disrupted by open access and preprints. This has democratized research access but has also introduced new challenges like higher costs for authors and overburdened peer review systems. She is seeing a new model emerge: Publish – Review – Curate. Researchers would release their work as preprints, engage in public peer review, and then refine – journals would then curate the final products. This would not only increase transparency of the publication process but would also demand more accountability from peer reviewers. She went further to assert that it’s not just about changing how we publish—it’s about changing what we publish. The research paper, stuck in its static PDF format, hasn’t kept up with advances in robotics, cloud computing, and AI-driven lab environments. We are now seeing movement towards interactive papers that integrate data and software. The goal? To make science accessible, actionable, and complete (including negative results). Key Statement in her talk: 21st century data is bigger and more complicated than it has ever been and it is going to get bigger – and our ability to communicate it is woefully inadequate. To be able to embrace this future, we need to consider how to change the perverse incentives that are currently pervasive for researchers in academic publishing: a focus on Impact Factor of journals and sheer number of publications. We want doing and sharing science to be in the same process; and it should be scientist driven. What do you think—is the scientific community ready for this transformation? #SSPND2024

Julie Nash, Gwen Logan (Director, Customer Insights at AIP Publishing), and Corinne Guimont (Associate Director, Publishing & Digital Scholarship at Virginia Tech) gave us some insightful views into the New Paradigms in the Shift to Publishing-as-a-Service at the 2024 SSP New Directions in Scholarly Publishing Seminar today. Julie shared some research with us about what authors really value in a publisher: efficiency, communication, customer service, simpler submission processes, and the protection of publication credibility. She also briefly mentioned work that is going on with publishers in the field addressing research integrity concerns, bringing together disparate systems, managing the limited bandwidth of researchers, and improving the author experience – with a special shout out to the work that ACS Publications has been doing with ChronosHub! Corinne gave us some insight into what it is like to be a small publisher on a university campus supporting first time authors, and Gwen discussed the power of primary customer research in driving the customer-centricity of AIPP. For those of you submitting papers for peer-reviewed publication, are there any positive changes that you’ve noticed in the past few years? #SSPND2024

I enjoyed the Reverse Roundtables at the 2024 SSP New Directions in Scholarly Publishing Seminar today. We had a chance to spend time with our colleagues discussing questions prompted by facilitators around developing our workforce in academic publishing, organizational transformation within the publishing industry, and how publishing is responding to a changing research landscape. #SSPND2024
