All systems go for CISPC 2020
London event will go ahead in November following large numbers of paper submissions
Organisers of the Challenges in the Scholarly Publishing Cycle (CISPC) event have been delighted with the number and quality of papers submitted by potential speakers. The papers are currently being assessed by the team behind the event, and announcements will be made in the next few weeks regarding its format. Presented by Research Information in
partnership with Info International, the 2020 conference on 30 November will build on the success of last year’s event by providing librarians and information professionals with deeper knowledge and understanding of communication strategies for open research. In an increasingly open world –
encompassing open research, open science and open data – some of the biggest challenges are around educating researchers about the changes they have to make to their working practices. We’ll also be reflecting on the research
landscape in a post-Covid world – the changes we’ve had to make this year, the medium-term outlook, and long-lasting – if not permanent – ways in which the scholarly publishing cycle will have to adjust in future years. At CISPC 2020, we will be bringing
together speakers from around the world that have developed effective scholarly communication strategies within their own institutions, and who will share their experiences and expertise with fellow scholarly communication professionals. We’re also increasing the time available
for table discussions, enabling delegates to share and learn from each other in an informal environment.

end of November, as past events have shown that’s the best way to encourage interaction and shared best practice among the scholarly communications community. However, recognising that
circumstances may prevent us from doing so, we – like any other event organiser – have back-up plans in place either for a hybrid live/virtual event (in case social distancing limits capacity at the venue) or a fully virtual event. Conference chair Tim Gillett said:
‘Whatever happens, CISPC will take place in one format or another, once again providing an environment for librarians and information professionals to learn from and engage with their peers about how to overcome challenges in the scholarly publishing cycle. ‘We are looking forward to the event
tremendously, in whatever format it may take.’
