CSE October Member Update

Letter From the President
Look forward... to Denver!
|
|
| Angela Cochran, CSE President |
I am all about looking forward these days. I am also all about solving problems instead of just complaining about them. It feels like we can sometimes get stuck in the "that's not how it's done" mentality. It's time to look forward.
In this rapidly changing scholarly publishing landscape, Council of Science Editors members see growth, opportunities, and even threats first hand. What will the business models look like in 10 years? Will journal brands continue to matter? Will new technology enhance publication or disrupt? Will peer review as we know it be valued? What about standards and copyediting?
CSE is ready to tackle these topics in Denver at our 2016 Annual Meeting- Pioneers in Scholarly Publishing: Thriving in the New Frontier. Sessions and keynotes will focus on new and emerging trends while seeking out the opportunities for scholarly publishers. We expect to thrive in, not just survive in, the landscape of changes and challenges coming our way.
We do hope that you join us in Denver and to share your vision of the future. Please note that the dates for this meeting are a slight shift from the normal schedule. Short courses will be on Saturday and Sunday (May 14-15) with the Welcome reception on Sunday, May 15. The program sessions will be held on Monday and Tuesday (May 16-17).
Keep an eye on your email and social media channels for more information about the Annual Meeting!

Committee Spotlight: Education
The Education Committee, under the leadership of Dan Nadolny, is charged with providing CSE members and the profession with high-quality opportunities to continue to learn and grow. Through short courses and webinars, the committee seeks out hot topics and expert speakers to answer the questions you have in your day-to-day operations.
The Education Committee has produced four webinars this year with one more yet to come. Topics included preventing retractions, working with figures, and improving author instructions. The most recent webinar focused on offering Continuing Medical Education, and the next explores how to make sure your content is properly indexed.
The CSE Short Courses, organized by Nancy Devaux, are a real bonus for Annual Meeting attendees. The short courses take a deep-dive into what you should know to get the job done. At the 2016 Annual Meeting in Denver, the Short Course for Journal Editors, Short Course for Publication Managers, Short Course for Manuscript Editors, and Short Course on Publication Ethics will be offered.
Thank you to everyone who serves on the Education Committee:
