Video: Society for Scholarly Publishing New Directions 2019 Seminar Sessions Now Available to View Online

From SSP:

The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) hosted our third annual New Directions seminar on October 2 and 3 at the 20F Conference Center in Washington DC earlier this year. With a record number of in-person as well as virtual attendees, the theme Scholarly Publishing Models “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” proved to be popular across a range of participants. Topics included some of the most talked-about enterprises in the field, from Plan S and OA2020 to new peer review models and preprint servers, spam journals, and mega journals.
