3rd Intensive Course in Journal Publishing – USA 2012
Comments from the previous Intensive Course in Journal Publishing - USA
"The course explained to me the 360 degrees of journal publishing. The faculty clearly explained how to proceed (do's, don'ts, etc) - the perfect guidelines for me"
"I would highly recommend this course, both for its STM focus and the interactions with presenters and faculty."
"I think the coverage was excellent. The course covered all aspects of publishing."
"The wide range of topics plus interacting with veterans of the industry helped me understand the business beyond just the scope of the presentations"
Overview - Intensive Course in Journal Publishing
"It takes a village" to support a successful journal publishing program: Editorial, Sales, Marketing, Content Management and Production, Finance, Technology, Fulfillment, Customer Service (the list seems endless). The STM Intensive Course in Journal Publishing is designed for those with at least one or two years experience in scholarly or professional publishing who want to gain a better and more holistic understanding of the journal publishing business.
The course uses the case study method and involves the students in competitive business problem solving. Organization, team building and presentation skills will be emphasized throughout the course. Attendees will work in teams to develop a publishing and business plan using their new knowledge gained from the speakers' presentations. On the last day of the course, each team will make a presentation of its business plan to the the entire group. It is critical for all students to attend the full course in order to participate in the presentations; the final day will end by no later than 5 PM. Those who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion signed on behalf of STM.
