Assessing New Publishing Venues – MDPI, Frontiers, and More
Thursday, September 26, 2024 from 3:30 – 5:30pm
Faculty panelists will share their thoughts and experiences working with some of the fastest growing publishers, including MDPI and Frontiers. In an era of new publishing venues, business models, and shifting perspectives on issues of journals’ quality and trustworthiness, how do you choose an appropriate venue for your work? Should you publish in an MDPI or Frontiers’ journal? What should you consider when evaluating a journal? Panelists will answer questions like these, while discussing the merits of different publishers/venues.
The panel discussion will take place from 4:00-5:00 pm, and there will be time to talk with colleagues over refreshments before and after the presentation.
Panelists: John Chisholm (Chemistry), Heather Coleman (Biology), Aaron Mohammed (Earth and Environmental Sciences; Civil and Environmental Engineering), Mary Beth Browning Monroe (Biomedical and Chemical Engineering), and Margaret Voss (Nutrition and Food Studies)
