SUPPORTED BY DIGITAL SCIENCE AND ELSEVIER
The scholarly publishing technology landscape has transformed dramatically in recent years.
From AI-powered research integrity tools and automated editorial workflows to open research infrastructure and sophisticated analytics platforms, innovation is creating unprecedented opportunities to improve the research and publishing process.
But is the growing number of platforms and tools actually making life easier for publishers and researchers?
As technologies emerge and providers consolidate their offerings, the industry faces a fundamental challenge: how can these increasingly sophisticated systems work together effectively? Disconnected workflows, inconsistent metadata, integration costs and the risk of vendor lock-in can all undermine the benefits that technologies promise.
Should the future of scholarly publishing lie in more comprehensive, integrated platforms, or in an open, interoperable ecosystem where publishers and researchers can choose the tools that work best for them?
Join Research Information for a lively panel discussion bringing together four leading voices from across the scholarly communications technology landscape to explore how greater collaboration, connectivity and interoperability could unlock the full potential of publishing technology.

What we’ll explore
Innovation or fragmentation? Is the proliferation of platforms and AI-powered tools delivering genuine efficiencies, or creating complexity?
The interoperability challenge: Why is it still so difficult to connect systems, share data and create seamless workflows across the research lifecycle?
Competition versus collaboration: Can platform providers work together to develop more open, connected ecosystems while maintaining their competitive advantage?
Consolidation and choice: Do integrated end-to-end platforms offer the best experience, or do they risk limiting flexibility and innovation?
The future of scholarly infrastructure: What role should open standards, shared metadata and community-led infrastructure play in shaping the next generation of publishing platforms?
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for scholarly publishers, society publishers, academic librarians, research institutions, publishing technology providers and anyone involved in developing, selecting or managing the systems that support scholarly research and communication.
Whether you’re responsible for publishing strategy, editorial workflows, technology infrastructure or research services, the discussion will offer fresh perspectives on how the industry can move beyond individual platforms towards a more connected and effective research ecosystem.
Join us to explore whether the future of scholarly publishing will be defined not by what individual platforms can do, but by how effectively they work together.
