Bloomsbury publishes a suite of digital resources including Drama Online, Bloomsbury Fashion Central, Human Kinetics Library and Screen Studies which are remarkable for their diversity of content types. Encyclopedias and book chapters are combined with play texts, image collections, video, audio and interactive tools to form immersive subject-based resources. This range of content types presents challenges for ensuring accessibility compliance beyond those required for standard eBook or journal platforms. I will outline the recent work we have done to ensure our platforms are accessible to all kinds of users, and the challenges we have identified in our future roadmap.

Advancing open data: implementing an Open and FAIR data sharing policy

In 2005, Brougham Castle Bridge in Cumbria, UK, suffered significant storm flood damage and partially collapsed. Cumbria County Council paid a UK structural design firm £1.15 million to conduct repairs, and in 2019 the paper of its renovation was published. Unfortunately, academics who wish to write about real-world impact will find systemic barriers to themselves publishing in a journal that prominently features practitioners, leading them to often do so ‘off-the-books’. What is the future post-UKRI ‘Pathways to Impact’? This talk identifies the challenges that practice-oriented journals face in a metric-driven research environment.

Castles, airports and indexes: impact beyond impact factor

This presentation will provide insight to IEEE's customer commitment in these challenging times as well as new directions in Open Access publishing and institutional partnerships.

IEEE Update for UKSG

ACS Publications recently completed a series of technical enhancements and changes to its integrated Open Access management workflow to improve the user experience for authors and administrators.
This presentation covers the key elements of the advancements made to the process in detail, from submission to approval, and from acceptance to publication, exploring the efforts to enable institutional affiliation standardization and the major changes to the Journal Publishing Agreement for ACS’s OA Read + Publish agreements.
This session will also provide a useful overview of the OA token management process for colleagues considering exploring a Read + Publish agreement with ACS.
