In the period prior to the London Book Fair, on Monday, March 11, we celebrated our annual day of Editorial of Digital Sciences. Guided by the general issue of ‘The Road Ahead’, the event in person gave the opportunity to explore what the future road map can have for academic publication. It was a full day of action for the editorial community, with key notes, discussion panels and many networks!
After a welcome and introduction of digital Science’s MD of Publisher Sales, Helen CookeWe start the day with a key note of Mark HanhelOur open research vice president. Mark shared where he predicts that experimentation will conduct in the global academic scene constantly changing, and what digital science can do to support editors with data, tools and ideas.
After Mark’s key note, we had a series of conversations to share products and roadmap updates for our editorial solutions. Amye KedallProduct vice president, presented exciting updates of Dimensions and AlterAnd he explained how digital science is adopting AI in our product development plans to help editors to promote content discovery and do less.

The next was Juan CastroCEO and co -founder of Writtenthat were presented in the language and solutions of metadata with the Writropulle for editors, and how they have simplified the workflow of a leading chemistry editor.
After a network break, we kept our first panel of the day. The panel was moderated by Cathy Holland of digital science, whom he joined Andreea Moldavan Sage, Jon Treadway of Great North Wood Consulting, Becky Moakes of Maverick, and Ian Potter of the borders. The panel had an animated discussion about the trip of adapting to AI in the academic publication, weighing the positive and negative impacts, and looking forward to see if AI is, or it will be, the new normality.
The following panel (in the photo below) was moderated by Tyler Ruse of digital science. Pooja Aggarwal from Bloomsbury, James butcher from Journalology, Ritu Dhand of Springer’s nature, and Lisa Walton of BMJ. They discussed how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are affecting editorial and editorial strategies, how to measure success in the SDGs, the importance of compact SDG editors and how it could be the way to 2030.
After a test of the editorial industry, we had our third and last panel of the day, which was moderated by Digital Science’s Nigel Thompson. Nigel joined Hannah Barnsley of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Simon Boisseau of accuComs, Bernie Follan of Oaspa, and Rhodri Jackson of Oxford University Press. The panel talked about the trends and open access models, the role played by the broader initiatives in the support of OA and where they think that the OA movement is directed.
As the day came to an end, Jessica Miles Holtzbrinck Publishing Group delivered a key note that invites reflection, reflecting on the past, the present and future of Publishing Stm’s workflows. She talked about how workflows have been formed by different periods of digital transformation: from the establishment of infrastructure for the creation of digital content in the movement of digital printing, until the expansion of the workflow of publication influenced by AI and automatic learning, until the AI will impact the proposal of fundamental value of STM Publishing in the future.
We conclude the day enjoying some network drinks. Once again, we would like to send our sincere thanks to all those who attended and spoke on the day of the editorial this year, and we look forward to the event next year.
