There will be formal presentations on the fundamentals of editorial policies, peer review models, data sharing, DEIA reporting guidelines, content recruitment, citation metrics, editorial boards, open access/public access/Plan S, journal management, and publishing ethics. The sessions are a combination of didactics, interactive case studies, and small group breakouts. Participants can pose their questions and problems for consideration by the faculty and other participants.
