| KEYNOTE--The Scary World of Scholarly Publishing and What We Can Do About It | Currently, the world of scholarly publishing ethics and integrity has focused a great deal of attention on the challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence (gAI). Questions such as “Who really authored the paper?”, “How does gAI infringe on copyrights?”, and “How do you credit gAI in a research report?” all reflect genuine worry on the part of academic researchers, writers, reviewers, and editors. Unfortunately, gAI is not the only threat to the credibility of contemporary scholarly work because it is also plagued by the deceptive practices by nefarious and desperate human beings. Self-plagiarism, data falsification, phantom publications, and citation cartels are just a few of the fraudulent things some authors do today that damage the quality of what we read and cite in our own research. If this picture was not bad enough, now, not only do authors have to worry about predatory journals that diminish the quality of their publications, they must also be wary of hijacked journals. This is indeed the scary world of scholarly publishing! In this session, I will suggest some ways we can maintain quality in our own work and help to reestablish the integrity in scholarly publishing in these challenging times. |
| The Scholarly Communications Landscape at Nova Southeastern University (NSU Libraries) | The scholarly publishing landscape has always evolved and changed over time to adjust to changes in technology or policy. Today’s focus on accessibility, self-marketing of research, and the cost of publishing in an openly accessible format shapes and moves this landscape as new policies are enacted, budgets are reduced or flattened, and researchers are finding that there is more to do post-publication to disseminate their work. Join Keri Baker, NSU’s Scholarly Communications Librarian, as she introduces her new role on campus, discusses the different types of open access and what they mean, and how her department can help you with discoverability of your work, defining copyright and open access types as it pertains to the NSU research landscape, and discussing how to navigate the world of Article Processing Charges (APCs) to understand ways you can make affordable decisions on making your research open. |
| Driving Real-World Change through Research and Publishing (Emerald) | This interactive session will explore how academic research drives impact: not in the traditional sense of citations in the scholarly literature, but impact we can see and feel in society. We will explore the roles of stakeholders in the scholarly publishing ecosystem – researchers, authors, publishers, librarians, and others – and discuss how we can work together to create meaningful change. |
| Analyze and Visualize the Impact of your Research (Clarivate) | This session, hosted by Clarivate, will focus on finding relevant research impact metrics within author profiles, collaboration networks, citation reports, and bibliometric reporting that can be utilized by everyone across an institution. |
| How to Publish Your Thesis or Dissertation | Why put all that effort into your thesis or dissertation if it won't be publishable? Come learn from the NSU Writing and Communication Center how to manage the process to avoid things like writer’s block and predatory publishers, as well as best practices for composing texts that are both academically sound and commercially viable. |
| Writing & Publishing Business Case Studies (HCBE & SAGE) | This session explores the value of case studies in the business curriculum. Topics to be discussed include the following: 1) about the Center for Case Study Excellence, 2) writing cases – getting started, 3) preparing and publishing cases, and 4) publication opportunities with Sage Business Cases |
| Panel Perspectives: Academic Publishing Insights with Nova Southeastern Faculty and Elsevier | Discover the world of academic publishing in a lively panel discussion with Nova Southeastern University faculty and Dr. Kristina Heubish, current Business Analyst for Elsevier. Gain insights into research navigation, industry trends, and the collaboration between academia and publishing. Join the conversation for practical tips and valuable perspectives. |
| Key Points to Getting Published: Behind the Scenes with IEEE | Idenifying where to publish your research can be a daunting task. Should you write a conference paper, a journal article or both? In this session, IEEE Client Services Manager, Ruth Wolfish will provide tips for selecting an appropriate IEE journal or conference, what successful IEEE authors do to make their papers stand out, why editors and reviewers reject papers, how to enhance the visibility and impact of your research with open access, and more! |
| Where to publish? Choosing the right journal for your article (Elsevier) | In article publishing, choosing a journal for publication is a strategically important step to give your work the opportunity to shine and attract the attention of the right people. Thus, it is not a decision to make without spending some time researching the best available publications out there. In this session, you will learn how to discover and increase your chances of acceptance to the best journal that is suitable to showcase your work. |
| Navigating the AI Era of Research: Ethical AI-Usage in Academic Publishing (IGI) |
Though Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about significant transformation in every industry in recent years, it has been the advent of ChatGPT that has seemed to spark a surge of innovative ideas and debates, especially within the realm of academic publishing. The potential applications of AI in this field, including improving manuscript readability, enhancing content generation, and the prospect of AI-powered reviewers, have generated considerable excitement, presenting opportunities for streamlining the writing and publishing processes. Nonetheless, this rapid evolution has also introduced ethical challenges that authors and publishers must grapple with, including navigating intricate policy updates and additions, as well as devising new strategies to maintain integrity in the face of potential misuse and manipulation of AI tools. This presentation aims to delve into the responsible utilization of AI tools to support authors in their publishing endeavors, offering insights into best practices and ethical considerations. Additionally, it will shed light on the intriguing and controversial applications of AI within academic publishing, showcasing the ongoing transformation of the industry. |
| The Changing Landscape of Academic Publishing: Open Access and Cambridge University Press (Cambridge University Press) | This presentation will cover the basics and benefits of open access in journals publishing, the market context around the open access transformation, how Cambridge University Press is transforming its publishing program, and how researchers can use their NSU library agreement to publish open access without charge in Cambridge journals. |
| How to Write and Structure a Manuscript for an Academic Peer-Reviewed Journal (SAGE) | Please join Jessica Offenberger from Sage Publishing as she discusses how to write an academic article. She will provide essential guidance for anyone hoping to get published in a peer-reviewed academic journal, including how to write and structure your manuscript. She will also provide practical tips to improve your manuscript, as well as share advice on how to handle revisions and possible rejection. |
| Ask the Authors | Join us for a lively panel discussion where published authors will share their experiences in getting their work, both commercially and self-published. This is the opportunity for you to ask your own questions and get answers from those who have successfully made the journey. |
| Success by Association: Creating, Connecting, Promoting, & Publishing with the South Florida Writers Association | As South Florida Writers Association (SFWA) enters its 35th year we are pleased to present insights into how this writers organization provides encouragement and mentoring of developing writers; assistance during the writing process through poetry, fiction and non-fiction critique groups; guest speaker presentations on the process and outcomes of self-publishing and marketing, and more. The themes at Power Publishing Day from the two presenters, Gail Tucker and Maggie Eubanks, are “Connecting”, “Creating”, “Promoting and Publishing”, and the upcoming “Mango Writers Conference”, an annual workshop and outside presenter event sponsored by SFWA. The SFWA presentation will describe how it has reached out to an extraordinary number of local, national and international members and followers with social media, on Facebook and elsewhere, and through its webpage “southfloridawriters.org". Member readings, newsletter blogs, twice yearly $500 publishing and marketing awards, monthly writing contests, and much more represent what is routine for the Board and members of the South Florida Writers Association. Recent presentations about writing process and publishing have come to us live from India, Canada, Scotland and several states outside Florida, all thanks to the wonders of Zoom technology. Meetings are held in person and via Zoom on the first Saturday of each month at Pinecrest Library in South Dade, except that December’s meeting is an annual luncheon gathering in celebration of the holidays. We welcome inquiries at our website, and encourage you to follow your muse and…keep on writing! |
