microPublication Open Publishing Fest Tent Event

May 18, 2020 by Nicholas Stiffler

General Concept of microPublication

May 20, 2020 10AM-11AM PST
Join us for an hour packed of fun to learn how microPublication is shaping the future of scholarly communication! microPublication publishes deliberately brief, peer-reviewed, and indexed articles. Our model encourages and allows for fast publishing of high-quality research. We will hear from Editor-in-Chief Paul Sternberg, Editorial board members, Authors, and Reviewers to learn how microPublication is changing how they think about publishing. The schedule of discussions are below:

Interview – Morris Maduro a long-standing C. elegans researcher and professor at UCRiverside will interview Paul Sternberg, the Editor-in-Chief of microPublication Biology. They will discuss where the idea for microPublication Biology came from, what it hopes to solve and who will benefit from this venue.
        Paul Sternberg, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA
        Morris Maduro, University of California, Riverside, CA, USA

Journal Editors Discussion – Tim Schedl, microPublication Editorial Core Team member, will talk with the Executive Editor of Genetics and G3 journals, Tracey De Pellegrin. They will discuss where microPublication Biology fits in the scholarly communication landscape.
        Tim Schedl, University of Washington at St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA
        Tracey De Pellegrin, Genetics Society of America, Genetics and G3 Journals

Whiteboard Revisited – When we began working with the Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (Coko), we invited community members to help us visualize our platform and how we would address common problems in publishing. In this session we have invited some of those participants back to discuss how they see microPublication Biology has evolved from its inception over the last three years.
        Janis Weeks, InVivo BioSystems/University of Oregon, Eugene OR USA
        Morris Maduro, University of California, Riverside, CA, USA
        Jordan Ward, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA, USA
        David Angeles-Albores, eGenesis Bio, Cambridge, MA USA
        Han Wang, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA
        Tanya Berardini, Phoenix Bioinformatics/TAIR, Fremont, CA, USA

Early Adopters – Getting a journal off the ground is not without its risks, especially for the people who rely on PubMed indexed citations for their CVs. We will be joined by people who took the leap of faith and published with us knowing that there was no guarantee for optimum indexing of their work. We will discuss if and how they see our venue changing the way science is communicated and how else it impacts the community.

        Erik Jorgensen, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
