Presentation Overview:Show

Open access for publicly funded research manuscripts has been available for close to 30 years. Following this move, there have been significant changes in both the publishing industry and the submission process of manuscripts to journals. These changes have improved access to scientific information substantially worldwide. I will discuss what have been good developments and what still needs improvement. Audience participation during the discussion session is strongly encouraged.

Presentation Overview:Show

This talk will provide some experience from two decades at the coalface of editing journals on how peer review works behind the scenes. And the challenges editors face with the volumes of work, platforms and things that can go wrong. This providing insight for authors and reviewers on the other side on how to deal with these problems. And (if there is time) discussing some potential solutions to improve the situation in the future.
