The Handbook of Journal Publishing is a comprehensive reference work written by experienced professionals, covering all aspects of journal publishing, both online and in print. Journals are crucial to scholarly communication, but changes in recent years in the way journals are produced, financed, and used make this an especially turbulent and challenging time for journal publishers - and for authors, readers, and librarians. The Handbook offers a thorough guide to the journal publishing process, from editing and production through marketing, sales, and fulfilment, with chapters on management, finances, metrics, copyright, and ethical issues. It provides a wealth of practical tools, including checklists, sample documents, worked examples, alternative scenarios, and extensive lists of resources, which readers can use in their day-to-day work. Between them, the authors have been involved in every aspect of journal publishing over several decades and bring to the text their experience working for a wide range of publishers in both the not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
Born and lived: Born in St. Louis Park (suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul). Grew up on the "Iron Range" in Northern Minnesota. early life: Grew up on a lake so spent most of my time either in it (swimming in the summer time) or on it (skating, skiing & snowmobiling in the winter time). Loved reading and as a child was constantly getting into trouble for reading into the wee hours of the night. Professional career and activities: After graduate school, spent seven years managing a small Health Sciences Library. I loved the variety I had in this "one person library" and was able to do everything from reference to cataloging. My current position is in a university setting and I love the excitement and energy generated by the students. faMily: A wonderful husband and one very spoiled puppy! in My sPare tiMe: I'm an avid football fan (Go Vikes!) and love doing anything outdoors. favorite BooKs: sigurd olson's Reflections from the North Country. douglas wood's Old Turtle. Goal i HoPe to acHieve five years froM now: Hike all 205 miles of the Superior Hiking Trail (doesn't have to be all at once). How/wHere do i see tHe indUstry in five years: That's a tough one! I think there will definitely be a role for libraries, but we will need to switch our focus from "housing" information to helping our users gain access to the information they need.
