{"title":"Introduction: The University Press Redux Conference 2024","authors":"Nicky Ramsey, Keara Mickelson, Anthony Cond","doi":"10.1002/leap.1646","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/leap.1646","url":null,"abstract":"<p>May 2024 saw the return of an in-person University Press Redux conference—the fifth of its kind (after its launch in Liverpool in 2016) and the first in-person event since 2018. It was wonderful to see so many of our University Press community—200 attendees in total—gathered in Edinburgh for 2 days of exciting, thought-provoking and inspirational sessions and conversations.</p><p>The conference theme, Connecting People and Ideas, spoke to what is unique about the University Press community: united by a mission to share trusted knowledge, we have a commitment to collaboration, communication, sharing ideas and learning from one another. The aim was for delegates to come away with a strong sense of practical lessons learnt and connections made, to be taken into their day-to-day working lives. Those ideas and ambitions came through strongly in all the sessions at the conference—which tackled pressing issues including accessibility, digital disruption, equity, diversity and inclusion, metadata, open access, sustainability and more—and are equally present in the articles, which make up this special issue.</p><p>Knowing how much we benefit from understanding our key stakeholders, we invited librarians and authors to participate in sessions focused on outlining what they want and need from publishers. And while many of our speakers were from the University Press world, we also heard from colleagues within the wider publishing industry who shared their expertise.</p><p>A recording of all the conference sessions, including inspirational opening and closing keynote speeches from Amina Shah, National Library of Scotland, on the role of libraries in connecting people and ideas, and from Jenny Garrett, OBE, on equality versus equity, can be found at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYB4k71cVIeWzoADvxo6Xi0UXakXLYrN5.</p><p>This special issue of Learned Publishing shares some of the highlights from this conference. It opens with Christie Henry (Director, Princeton University Press) exploring the creation of community in a hybrid world in her article ‘On Building Community on Scholarly Publishing: Modern ambitions and actions inspired by ancient wisdoms’. She asks how we can ensure that inclusivity triumphs over individualism and artificial (and anti) intelligence, and how we can enable engaged exchange to propel our futures. Bringing together ideas around community ecology, the critical importance of a people-centric approach, the role of books as community builders, and the vital work of leaders in building community, this article challenges and inspires in equal parts.</p><p>In ‘Open minds on open access’ Emily Poznanski (CEO, Sciendo) explores the benefits and drawbacks of emerging OA models with Ben Ashcroft (Chief Commercial Officer, De Gruyter Brill), Ben Denne (Director of Publishing, Academic Books, Cambridge University Press), Richard Gallagher (President and Editor-in-Chief, Annual Reviews) and Dhara Snowden (Textbook Programme Manager, UCL Pr","PeriodicalId":51636,"journal":{"name":"Learned Publishing","volume":"37 S1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/leap.1646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ArXivID, IdHAL, ORCID, ResearcherID and Scopus Author ID were investigated. A total of 6125 people completed the questionnaire in full. The results of this survey show that discipline and age play an important role in French researchers' familiarity with AIDs. IdHAL and ORCID were by far the two best known AIDs, probably because they have been promoted by institutions in France for several years. French researchers use AIDs mainly to respond to external requests (e.g., to submit an article or a research project), while, surprisingly, few use them to ‘facilitate their work’. When French researchers were asked about their needs and the form of support required for AIDs, more than 30% of them said they either required an introduction to or practical training in these tools. The results of this national survey should help stakeholders to adapt their policies and to guide and support researchers more efficiently in the use of these tools.</p>","PeriodicalId":51636,"journal":{"name":"Learned Publishing","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/leap.1640","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142860455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
